KOLKATA: A Bangladeshi citizen was arrested on Thursday as he attempted to enter a Bengdubi Army Base at Bagdogra in Darjeeling district of West Bengal, posing as a local labourer.

The Bangladeshi individual was identified as Nanda Mondal. He was arrested by the Army jawans attached to the base after they found his movements quite suspicious. Later, he was handed over to the Bagdogra Police Station.

An insider from the district police said that because of some ongoing construction work at the base, some local labourers attached to a construction contractor arrived at the Army base. While they were entering the base, Mondal also tried to enter by posing as a labourer.
