A total of 57 people suspected to be nationals of Bangladesh were detained by Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel during an operation at Maligaon Kamakhya Railway station in Assam on Wednesday. The individuals were discovered aboard the Brahmaputra Mail train during routine checks conducted by RPF officials at the station.
According to preliminary investigations, the detained persons had reportedly departed from Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir before being intercepted in Assam. The RPF suspects they may have been attempting to cross into Bangladesh illegally, though further inquiries are underway to establish their exact route and destination.
The detainees have been handed over to relevant authorities for verification of their identities and nationalities. Standard immigration and border security protocols are being followed as officials investigate the circumstances surrounding their movement across multiple states.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about human trafficking and illegal migration networks operating across northern India. Railway authorities have intensified surveillance measures at major stations to prevent such incidents and ensure border security compliance along major transport routes.
