In another incident on the same day, BSF personnel rescued a Bangladeshi woman who was allegedly trafficked to India, and apprehended one person in this connection from West Bengal's North 24 Parganas, close to the international border, an official statement by the paramilitary force said.

The accused has been identified as Mostafejur Sardar, a resident of Kazipara village in the district, . Both Sardar and the woman were handed over to Basirhat police station, the statement added. 

Earlier in the week on Tuesday, BSF personnel also came to the rescue of four persons in two separate incidents in Bengal's Murshidabad district, near the India-Bangladesh border.
