Eleven Bangladeshi nationals including four children were arrested from a remote border village in Tripura's Dhalai district for entering the country without valid documents, police said on Sunday.

The Bangladeshi nationals were on their way home (Bangladesh) through Gandacherra sub-division of Dhalai district.

Acting on a tip-off, a police team headed by Officer in Charge (OC), Gandacherra police station, Palah Dutta carried out a raid at Machkumir, a border village of Dhalai district on Saturday and arrested the 11 Bangladeshi nationals, they said.
