Fifteen Bangladeshis have returned home through Benapole check post after serving two years in jail in India.
The Bangladeshi people, hailing from different parts of Narail, Khulna and Satkhira district, were handed over to Bangladesh immigration authorities at Benapole on Friday night.
Benapole Immigration Police officer in-charge Ibrahim Ahmed said they went to India without valid documents in search of jobs with the help of local brokers two and a half years back.
Mumbai police arrested them and a court sentenced them to two years imprisonment each for trespassing into the country.
