A Bangladeshi YouTuber known as “DH Travelling Info” has stirred controversy with an old video that recently resurfaced, in which he describes methods for entering India illegally from Bangladesh. The video has ignited a heated debate on social media, with many expressing alarm over the security implications.
In the footage, the YouTuber stands in the Sunamganj District of Bangladesh, near the border with India. He claims that people can cross into India without needing any documentation, visa, or passport. The video, filmed in the Sylhet division, highlights a road that leads into India and mentions potential dangers, such as encounters with the Border Security Force (BSF) officers stationed in the area.

As the video progresses, the Bangladeshi YouTuber showcases the BSF’s camp and points out several tunnels that, according to him, can be used to enter India covertly. He concludes by cautioning viewers against attempting illegal entry, warning of the consequences and urging people not to tarnish the reputation of Bangladesh.
The video has gained significant traction online, amassing over 200,000 views since being shared on Instagram. The post has also received more than 7,000 likes and numerous comments, many of which express concern about the border situation.
Instagram user Aparajita Deshpande questioned the vigilance of the BSF, writing, “Is BSF sleeping on this? If a YouTuber knows the way, then everyone knows. So what is BSF doing all this time at the border!?” Another user, Panchi, sarcastically commented on the ease of obtaining Indian identification documents, stating, “Yes, they don’t need visas or passports. Once they cross the tunnel, PAN cards and Aadhar cards are sold on the bay. Come, collect and do your voting duty.”
Amir Raza Khan, another viewer, took a more constructive approach, noting, “It is good that he showed it, now we can reinforce these positions.”
The video has sparked a broader discussion on social media about the security measures at the India-Bangladesh border and the effectiveness of the BSF in preventing illegal crossings. As the debate continues, many are calling for stricter enforcement and better surveillance to address the potential risks highlighted by the video.
