A total of 88 fishermen and 2 fishing trawlers were returned to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF), reports UNB.
The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) handed over the fishermen and the trawlers to Neeldumur's Battalion 17 BGB's Riverine Border Guard Company at the middle of Kalindi River on the Bangladesh-India border.
The fishermen inadvertently entered the Indian waters of the Bay of Bengal in the middle of February this year due to thick fog.
Indian Coast Guard detained them and sent them to the Baruipur Central Correctional facility in Kolkata. Later, after all the legal processes, they returned to their homeland on Monday, Aug 28.
