WOMAN SWAM 35KM FROM BANGLADESH TO INDIA TO MARRY HER FACEBOOK BOYFRIEND, ARRESTED

A 22-year-old woman from Bangladesh, literally swam across the ocean for love, as she swam 35km to meet her boyfriend whom she met on Facebook, according to India Today.

The woman, Krishna Mandal from Bangladesh, met her Facebook boyfriend Abhik Mandal from India, on the social media network.

Neither Krishna nor Abhik had a passport, but Krishna still decided to cross the border by hook or by crook to meet her online lover.

The woman made her way through the forests of Sunderban, which is known for inhabiting Bengal tigers, and swam in for about an hour to enter India.

She finally managed to meet her online boyfriend, and they then got married at the Kalighat Temple in Kolkata, as news began to circulate of what she had done.

She was subsequently arrested by the Narendrapur Police for trespassing into Indian territory via an unauthorised route.

She was then handed over to the High Commission of Bangladesh.

Not the only one

It seems Krishna is not the only person to do something like this for love. A 24-year-old man from West Bengal had travelled across India to meet his 18-year-old girlfriend in Bangladesh.

He was subsequently arrested by the Border Security Force for illegally treapassing the international border.

A Vietnamese man working in India also reportedly rowed 2,000km on a rafting boat and spent 18 nights alone in the sea with no navigational tools, in an attempt to meet his wife.

He was eventually found by Thai fishermen with a suitcase and 10 packets of instant noodles.
