SHILLONG: In a high-stakes diplomatic face-off, the Meghalaya Government and the Border Security Force (BSF) have vehemently denied reports emerging from Bangladesh claiming that high-profile murderers are hiding out in the hills of Tura.
Indian authorities have slammed these reports as “baseless propaganda” designed to destabilize the hard-earned peace along the sensitive Indo-Bangla border.
Breaking her silence on the controversy, Meghalaya’s Director General of Police (DGP), Idashisha Nongrang dismissed the allegations with absolute finality.
“We have not made any such arrests,” the DGP stated, debunking claims that international fugitives had been intercepted on Khasi or Garo soil.
Echoing this stance, BSF Inspector General OP Upadhyay confirmed that no such operation or arrest has taken place.
He further revealed a shocking lack of communication from the other side, noting that the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has provided zero official evidence or intelligence to back these wild claims.
The controversy ignited after the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) went public with a cinematic narrative. According to DMP Additional Commissioner SN Nazrul Islam, two prime suspects in the brutal murder of Osman Hadi—identified as Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh—supposedly pulled off a daring escape.
The Dhaka police alleged, The duo sneaked through the Haluaghat-Mymensingh border into Meghalaya. A taxi driver named ‘Sami’ allegedly whisked them away to Tura. Dhaka claimed that Indian agencies had already arrested their accomplices, ‘Purti’ and ‘Sami,’ and were working on a deportation deal.
The Meghalaya Police have officially branded the entire Dhaka narrative as “pure fiction.” Officials stated that the story seems fabricated to create confusion and panic in the border regions.
With the BSF on high alert and the state police maintaining a hawk-eyed vigil, the message from Shillong is loud and clear: Meghalaya is no safe haven for international criminals.
