A massive search is underway after 10 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants escaped from a detention centre near Agartala, officials said on Saturday.
The illegal immigrants were lodged at a detention centre in Narsinghgarh in West Tripura district, they said.
''On September 29, all 10 Bangladesh nationals, including a minor, escaped,'' police spokesperson Rajdeep Deb said.
He said the incident happened as plans were being made to deport them to Bangladesh.
''A case has been registered, and a search is underway to nab them. Security has also been beefed up around the detention centre,'' he added.
On October 1, six prisoners escaped from a jail in North Tripura's Dharmanagar. Two of them were later caught.
