<p>	 BSF intercepts a group of 11 Bangladeshi citizens attempting to illegally cross into Pakistan from the Attari border	 	</p>
<p>						AMRITSAR: In a vigilant operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) apprehended a group of 11 Bangladeshi nationals attempting to illegally cross into Pakistan through the Attari border. The group, which included three women and three children, devised a plan to scale the high wall of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) situated on the Attari border.</p>
<p>These individuals sought to remain inconspicuous, hiding near the ICP while awaiting the opportune moment to cross. Additionally, they received support from a person residing in a nearby border village. The group, lacking both adequate funds and necessary travel documents, harbored aspirations to visit Pakistan.</p>
<p>Their journey commenced when they arrived in Amritsar on a Wednesday and made their way to the Attari border with the intent of witnessing the retreat ceremony. While at the border, they encountered an individual offering assistance at a cost of Rs 25,000 per person. Trusting the offer, they provided the money, and the individual concealed them in bunkers near the defense line around 8 pm.</p>
<p>Around 12:30 pm, under the cover of darkness, the group emerged from the bunkers and proceeded towards the ICP near Rorawala village. Here, they attempted to climb an 11-foot high wall, leading to distress, especially for a pregnant woman who sadly miscarried during the climb. Upon successfully crossing the wall, they sought refuge within the ICP. However, the BSF, acting swiftly, apprehended all of them.</p>
<p>Notably, The BSF is treating this incident as a case of human trafficking, and a thorough investigation is underway to unveil the networks and individuals involved in this illegal operation. </p>
