Meanwhile, the Border Security Force official said that they have approached Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) to search in their areas to locate the kidnapped workers.

Supervisor Subhash Bhowmik, JCB driver Subal Debnath and worker Ganapati Tripura were kidnapped at gunpoint by suspected National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants from Ganganagar in eastern Tripura's Dhalai district on December 7.

Four people were arrested in connection with the two abduction cases.
