In a coordinated operation on August 10, 2024, Border Security Force (BSF) troops, in collaboration with Meghalaya Police, apprehended seven Bangladeshi nationals and two Indian facilitators near the Indo-Bangladesh border.

The operation was carried out at a checkpoint in response to ongoing unrest in Bangladesh, prompting BSF Meghalaya to heighten security along the border with a multi-tiered domination strategy.

The detained individuals were handed over to the local police station for further legal action.
