During the search, railway police found both Indian and Bangladeshi currency notes, along with documents confirming their Bangladeshi nationality.
A case has been registered at the Agartala Government Railway Police (GRP) police station, and the detainees will be presented before the court today, added Das.
Das noted that interrogation is ongoing to uncover the details of their entry into Tripura and to identify any individuals who assisted them in crossing the border.
The GRP officer acknowledged that infiltration continues to be a significant concern.
