“They were sent back when they tried to trespass into Bangladesh by crossing the Naf River from early Saturday till the evening,” Teknaf BGB 2 Commander Lt Col SM Ariful Islam said.
Teknaf police station Officer-in-Charge Md Moin Uddin said the body of a Rohingya was recovered from the river.

In October last year, Rohingyas tried to intrude into Bangladesh in the same way after violent clashes broke out in Rakhine state.
