A total of 716 infiltrators, including 112 Rohingyas and 319 Bangladeshis, have been arrested along the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura this year, a senior BSF official said.
In contrast, only 369 people, including 150 Bangladeshis, 160 Indians and 59 Rohingyas, were nabbed last year while illegally crossing the international border in the northeastern state, Deputy Inspector General R. K. Singh said at the BSF Tripura Frontier headquarters in Agartala on Friday.
The border guarding force celebrated its 59th Raising Day on Friday.
