“There has been substantial increase in outflow of illegal Bangladeshi migrants to the bordering country in last one month…. In January alone, we had apprehended 268 illegal Bangladeshi migrants, most of whom were trying to sneak into the neighbouring country,” BSF Inspector General (South Bengal Frontier) Y B Khurania told reporters.
