The BSF has recently arrested a Bangladeshi child who swam to india from his country so that he could eat his favorite chocolate. Iman Hussain of Bangladesh's Comilla district was arrested on 13 April. This incident came to light from Sepahijala district of Tripura. 


At present, he has been kept in judicial custody for 15 days. 


Speaking to PTI, SDPO Manoj Biplab Das said, "During interrogation, this child, a resident of a village in Bangladesh's Comilla district, told that he entered india in the pursuit of his favorite chocolate. During the search, he had only 100 taka. Apart from this, he did not have anything illegal. But, he has been arrested for entering india without valid documents.  


According to Das, the proceedings are going on now, the child will be produced before the court once again and only then can anything be said. 

By the way, this child has not entered for the first time by swimming like this. Earlier, he used to cross the river Shalda and enter the area by crossing a hole in the wire-fence. 



Speaking to PTI, BSF sources said that the distinction can be made despite the international data-border wire and fence adjacent to Sonamura district. The data-border lines have been drawn in such a way that they pass through the bedrooms of the houses in the area. Due to the difficult terrain, it has not been possible to do fencing everywhere. 

Truly, what a chocolate can make people feel!
