Seven Bangladeshi young men returned home from India through the Benapole land port yesterday night after spending two years in jail. Police did not disclose their identities. Khorshed Alam, officer-in-charge of Benapole immigration police, said that they were lured to Kerala with promises of good jobs about two and a half years ago.
Later, Indian police arrested them for not having any valid documents and produced them before a court which sentenced them to jail. After serving their jail term, the Indian immigration police handed them over to Benapole immigration police through Benapole checkpost at night. Mamun Khan, officer-in-charge of Benapole Port Police Station, said the youths were handed over to their parents around 8:30 pm.
