Arrest After Police Raid

According to officials, the arrest followed the interrogation of two primary suspects in the case, identified as Faisal and Alamgir.

During questioning, the suspects reportedly revealed that they had illegally entered India from Bangladesh through the Meghalaya border with the help of Sangma.

Based on this information, police commandos carried out a raid near the Shantipur Bypass area on Saturday and took Sangma into custody.

Investigators believe Sangma was involved in organising illegal cross-border movement for individuals entering India from Bangladesh.

Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the full extent of the network involved in the case.
