18 Indians nabbed with guns, bullets

Picked from relative's house of Bogra arms haul truck owner

STAFF CORRESPONDENT, Sylhet
Paramilitary Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) yesterday caught 18 Indians from the Satchhari border area in Habiganj's Chunarughat upazila with two guns, six bullets, three daggers and some military uniforms.
The man who sheltered the trespassers is an uncle of Ashish Dev Barman, the absconding owner of the seized truck loaded with ammunition and explosives in Bogra in June last year.
Tipped off, the BDR personnel posted at Satchhari border outpost cordoned off the house of former Union Parishad (UP) member

Jogesh Member, from nearby Tipra village, at around 8:00am.
Storming into the house, the BDR men found all the Indians inside the house and picked them on their failure to explain reason behind the trespassing.
Jogesh, also the headman of the local Tipra community, has been absconding since the raid.
The BDR personnel also found 220 Indian rupees and Tk 2,200 from the possession of the Indians, who made no attempt to escape, said official sources.
During interrogation, they claimed they crossed the border for visiting relatives here but failed to produce any travel documents.
The BDR men filed two cases -one for entering Bangladesh illegally and the other for possessing firearms -- against them before handing them over to the Chunarughat police at 2:00pm yesterday.
Officials of different intelligence departments are investigating whether the youths, aged between 15 and 20, have any link with insurgent groups in India or those who were involved in transporting the arms and ammunition seized in Bogra.
The Indians are Budiram (19), Paldev Barma (15), Pingnai Dev Barma (20) and Ashin Dev Barma (15) from West Tripura, and Bimal Dev Barma (15), Dibesh Dev Barma (18), Bolon Dev Barma (15), Rakesh Dev Barma (18), Sardev Barma (18), and Dev Barma (17) from South Tripura, and Sonesh Dev Barma (18), Baitan Tripura (19), and Sajar Dev Barma (16) from Uttar Moharani, and Yamap Dev Barma (20), Bakar Dev Barma (20), and Salek Dev Barma (18), from North Tripura, and Bimal Dev Barma (18), and Bokal Dev Barma (17) from Khowai.
After the sensational Bogra seizure, police arrested Chittaranjan Dev Barma, a son of Jogesh, with two firearms and a walkie-talkie from near the Satchhari Forest Range in Chunarughat on July 1.
Acting on Chittaranjan's information, the BDR recovered a sophisticated 7.62 rifle, gun, wireless set and compass from their house that day and arrested Jogesh later. But he was freed on bail.
The BDR, on Sunday, arrested another Indian young man from the Ramnagar village near the Kalighat border outpost of Srimangal and handed him over to the police yesterday.
