As many as 10 Bangladeshi nationals including women have been arrested by North Tripura police from two vehicles for unlawfully entering Tripura on Thursday night and Friday morning.
They were held from Assam-bound vehicles, police said.

Police said all the four intruders unlawfully entered Tripura through Kamalasagar located at Tripura's Sepahijala district.
