According to police sources, the accused had been living in the Majherpara area of Unsani. Preliminary investigation revealed that they are residents of Satkhira district in Bangladesh.

The police alleged that the two had entered India by preparing fake identity documents and had been residing in the state illegally. They are scheduled to be produced before the Howrah district court on Sunday.
