The three Bangladeshi nationals were arrested yesterday for having entered Sikkim without valid documents, the police said.

While one of the accused was arrested near the taxi stand outside the police headquarters, the other two were picked up at Rangpo in West Bengal-Sikkim border checkpost as they were trying to leave, sources said.

The duo checked into a hotel on 15 October at around 7:30 pm and booked two rooms. Next day, the police moved in but they had already absconded, officials said.

Two laptop computers, an iPOD, flashdrivers, phones and modems were seized from the hotel room.

Sources said that while Md Islam is from Mohammadpur in Dhaka, Md Atik Rahman from Charadi village in Barisal district and Mir Ali is from village Badra police station of Satkhira in Bangladesh.
