The Bangladeshi nationals had been living in the Bitterban area in Tripura’s capital Agartala since arriving in the state.

Additional director general of police Rajiv Singh said their preliminary investigation found they came here seven months ago.

“We came here in search of daily-wage work seven months ago. But we have no work these days due to lockdown. That is why we were returning to Bangladesh,” Mohammad Masud Rana, one of the arrested Bangladeshi nationals told the media persons.
