A group of Kashmiri medical students, studying in Bangladesh, returned to their respective hostels in the neighbouring country after the Indian immigration officials at Benapole-Petrapole border refused to let them in.

The Indian government has suspended incoming traffic through all 107 immigration check posts (ICPs), including the one at Petrapole, as a precautionary measure against Covid-19’s spread.

On their return, the students have been quarantined at two different blocks.
