A mentally disturbed person, apparently a Bangladeshi national, reportedly crossed over from Bangladesh and entered Tripura, Border Security Force (BSF) sources said. The man was found sitting outside a civilian's house yesterday afternoon.

The sources said that the man was sent back to Bangladesh through river Feni by BSF as he appeared to be a Bangladeshi and added that the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) objected to that. Later, a meeting was held between the two forces. BGB refused to accept that the man is their national. BSF sources said the meeting concluded amicably.
