| Twenty-four people freed from Indian jail returned to Bangladesh on Sunday.
Members of the Bangladesh Rifles at Benapole received them from Indian Border Security Force (BSF) in the evening.
Indian police arrested them as they were smuggled out to India through different border points last year with promises of lucrative jobs, Bangladeshi police said.
Indian authorities later kept them in Kolkata Presidency Prison. If the victims, 11 are women while five were children.
Bangladesh National Women Lawyers Association (BNWLA) took steps to bring them back to the country. BNWLA official Lovlu Mia received them at Benapole Port Police Station to send them back home | |
