Indian Man Abducted, Returned by Bangladesh

Ranjit Das, a resident of Assam's Cachar district, was abducted near the India-Bangladesh border on Tuesday. He had gone missing earlier in the day while collecting grass in an area known as Zero Point, which is situated in Indian territory beyond the border fence. Locals alleged that a group of Bangladeshi nationals were responsible for his abduction, leading to heightened tensions along the border.

In a swift resolution, Bangladesh authorities returned Ranjit Das to Indian officials on Tuesday night. The handover was facilitated by the Bangladesh Border Guard. The incident occurred amid another border development where nine suspected illegal immigrants from Bangladesh were found stranded in no-man's-land near Assam's South Salmara-Mankachar district, prompting a flag meeting between border forces to address the situation.
