On January 2, 2025, the body of a 16-year-old girl was discovered near the Laitapura Border, close to the Bangladesh-India border. Local police were alerted after the body was found under suspicious circumstances. Authorities swiftly responded and initiated a detailed investigation to determine the cause of death.
The body was recovered and, after initial identification and examination, was handed over to Bangladesh authorities, as the victim was believed to be a Bangladeshi national. The border police coordinated with their counterparts across the border to ensure the proper transfer of the body, while maintaining diplomatic protocols.
The discovery of the young girl’s body near the border has raised concerns about cross-border trafficking and safety issues in the region. Authorities are now working on piecing together the circumstances surrounding her death, with the possibility of human trafficking or other illegal activities being explored. The case has drawn attention to the need for heightened vigilance along the border to prevent such tragic incidents.
As the investigation continues, the local police have appealed to the public for any information that could aid in uncovering the truth behind this disturbing incident.
