Initial interrogation has revealed that Kamrun Nesa was en route to Bengaluru via Kolkata, while the two men planned to travel to Chennai using the same route. All three are suspected to be operating as cross-border brokers, possibly involved in illegal trafficking networks.
Officials suspect that the trio had entered India through unfenced or vulnerable stretches along the Indo-Bangladesh border and intended to use the Indian railway network to reach different metropolitan cities.
Sources in the police said that sustained interrogation is underway at the Agartala GRP police station, and investigators believe that further arrests may follow in connection with the case. Authorities anticipate more crucial leads emerging from the detained individuals regarding the possible human trafficking or illegal immigration racket.
A case has been registered at Agartala GRP Police Station, and the accused will be produced before a court on Sunday.
