Guwahati: Katigorah police arrested two Bangladeshi nationals following a frantic chase through the Barak river in Assam. Salman Ahmed, 22, and 35-year-old Rasel Ahmed tried to ditch officers by leaping into the water near Harinagar Part III. Both men hail from the Amansid area of Zakiganj, Bangladesh.
The operation began when police acted on a tip that the pair were hiding at the home of Ziaur Rahman. Officers swarmed the border-area property, but the suspects bolted immediately. The two men jumped into the river to escape. Police pursued them by boat and eventually hauled them into custody.
Two police personnel suffered injuries during the pursuit. This incident highlights ongoing security issues within the Cachar district border region. Local authorities confirmed the details of the arrest today.
