AGARTALA: A local court in Tripura on Thursday remanded an Iranian and a Bangladeshi national to five-day police custody after the police arrested them for their suspected links with Pakistani militants.
A senior police officer said that the police on Wednesday arrested Iranian Yakub Yazdanbakhsh and Bangladeshi national Shahin Mondal from the Aswani market area under Amatoli police station on the outskirts of Agartala.
The duo failed to show valid passports or travel documents to the police, who confiscated their mobile phones.
The police found photos of Pakistani militant camps on the confiscated phones.
