Love knows no bounds: Bangla woman swims to India to marry boyfriend she found on Facebook
Can you dare to cross a jungle filled with mangroves and large predatory tigers to meet the man you fell in love with on Facebook and proceed to swim across rivers in chilly conditions?
A lady from Bangladesh crossed the Sundarbans and swam for an hour before meeting and marrying her Facebook lover.
The Bangladeshi woman, Krishna Mandal, fell in love with Abhik Mandal after meeting him online and decided to cross the border illegally since she lacked a passport.
Krishna initially reached the Sundarbans, a region famous for its Royal Bengal Tigers, according to police authorities, and then swam in the Matla River for over an hour to get there.
Surprisingly, Krishna met Abhik in the South 24 Parganas area of West Bengal, located in the hamlet of Kaikhali, and departed for Kolkata, where they tied knots at the Kalighat Temple.
When Krishna’s love tale became popular on social media, cops detained her for entering the country unlawfully.
According to reports, she will reportedly be sent to the Bangladesh High Commission.
This is not the first case of its kind as a Bangladeshi teenager crossed the border by swimming earlier this year to get chocolate from India.
The details suggested that Eman Hossain waded across a small river to grab his favorite chocolate bar and squeezed through a fence opening into India.
The adolescent was turned over to the neighborhood police before being brought to court and sent to judicial detention for 15 days.
