Guwahati, Sep 16 (PTI) The police on Wednesday apprehended 10 suspected Bangladeshis without valid travel documents from a private lodge in the Paltan Bazaar area of the city, an officer said.
Acting on a tip-off, the police conducted a search and nabbed them from three rooms of the lodge.

The police are conducting further probe into the network that facilitates their entry from the neighbouring country, the officer said.
