According to a newspaper report, the kidnappers were trying to “extort and smuggle” through the tunnel in Balia of Karimganj district.
Citing Karimganj Police Superintendent Mayank Kumar Jhar, Anandabazar said the BSF was asked to immediately close the mouth of the Indian part of the tunnel after it was found on Friday. The police also detain and question several people.
However, local Bangladeshi police officers were unable to say anything about the tunnel.
Anandabazar reports that Dilwar Hossain, a resident of the Shilua village below the Nilambazar Police Station in Karimganj, was abducted on Sunday. He later called her home and demanded a ransom of five lakh rupees. Dilwar’s relatives contacted the police after seeing the phone number in Bangladesh.
After that, to reduce the ransom money, it was not negotiated so it was set at five lakh rupees. The kidnappers then asked Alimuddin of Nayagram to hand over the money.
Elim was later arrested by police on Wednesday. An intensive search was launched in the border area. When the kidnappers released Dilwar, he told the police about the tunnel.
On Friday, Mayank Police Superintendent Kumar Jhas and others went and found the 200-meter-long tunnel in the Jangalghera area.
Anandabazar writes, it is difficult to imagine the matter from the outside. It looks like a simple hole. Same look at the tunnel mouth at the end of Bangladesh.
If you want to know about the Zakiganj OC Mir police. Abdun Nasser told bdnews24.com that they were not aware of any such tunnels.
