BSF Meghalaya Foils Cattle Smuggling Attempt Near India-Bangladesh Border

The 4th Battalion of the Border Security Force (BSF) Meghalaya successfully foiled a cattle smuggling attempt near the India-Bangladesh border in West Jaintia Hills District.

Acting on specific intelligence inputs, BSF personnel launched a swift operation after receiving information about the illegal stocking of cattle in a betel nut garden for smuggling into Bangladesh. The operation led to the seizure of 22 buffaloes and the apprehension of five Indian nationals involved in the illicit activity.

When intercepted by security forces, the accused individuals were unable to provide any valid justification for the possession and stocking of the cattle.

Following standard legal procedures, the seized livestock and the detained individuals were handed over to the Police Patrol Post (PPP) in Muktapur for further investigation and necessary legal action.
