Bangladesh has intensified border security with India to prevent illegal crossings, particularly by Awami League members fleeing political unrest. Border Guard Bangladesh has increased patrols and sought public cooperation. This follows incidents including a judge's attempted crossing and the death of an Awami League leader near the border.

 The BGB public relations officer Shariful Islam has said that Bangladesh has strengthened security along the border with India to prevent cross-border infiltration. This has been done in view of what seems to be a rising trend of people, especially those linked with the Awami League party, trying to escape to India. 

 The BGB has not only increased its visibility along the 4,096-kilometer border but also sought public support. People are urged to inform two mobile phone numbers of any observed unlawful border crossing. 

 This heightened security follows several notable incidents, including:

  • The arrest of a retired Supreme Court judge AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik while reportedly trying to sneak into India through the Sylhet sector. 
  • The murder of Awami League leader Ishaque Ali Khan Panna whose body was found in India’s Meghalaya state bordering Bangladesh. 
  • Several accounts of Awami League leaders and activists trying to escape to India since the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s escape on August 5 due to student uprising. 

 The situation shows increasing political crisis in Bangladesh as there are reports of violence against the Awami League members where they are being beaten and arrested.

 Although Bangladesh wants to stop people from crossing the border illicitly, it has also expressed concern over the extra-judicial killings of Bangladeshi citizens by Indian security forces on the border, which shows that cross-border relations and security issues are not always black and white.
