Bangladeshi YouTuber’s viral video on illegal entry misleading, says BSF

Shillong, July 29: The Border Security Force (BSF) has dismissed Bangladeshi YouTuber Diwar Hussain’s video on ‘illegal entry to India’ as “misleading” and an attempt to gain internet popularity. The BSF clarified that the video, originally filmed in March 2023, was reposted and depicts outdated conditions in Bangladesh’s border areas. The BSF mentioned that social media users have made unfounded assumptions based on the video without understanding the current security protocols in place.

A recent viral video by YouTuber Diwar Hussain posted on his YouTube channel, claims to show how effortlessly one can cross the border into Meghalaya without facing any hindrance. He even mocked how the crossing was so easily made as there are no border security guards to stop him. The footage had raised serious concerns among Indian citizens about the effectiveness of border security measures.

“Such isolated videos posted on social media with the intention to gain followers and publicity should not overshadow the daily efforts and successes of the BSF in preventing illegal activities along the border,” stated the IG of BSF Meghalaya.

He urged the public and media to exercise caution and verify facts before spreading information that could cause unnecessary alarm or damage the reputation of security forces.

The BSF further said it remains dedicated to securing India’s borders with the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

The video in question has since been deleted by its creator, further questioning its authenticity and veracity.

Adding to the concerns, another recent viral video showed Bangladeshi nationals allegedly entering Indian territory in Dawki to illegally mine boulders. In a similar incident, a video captured Bangladeshi individuals throwing stones at Indian tourists in Dawki.
