An Indian was stabbed to death by a group of Bangladeshis near Karaitali, a border village in north Tripura district, police said on Friday.

A group of Indian villagers, which was searching for their cattle, had crossed the border fencing at Karaitali on Wednesday when a few Bangladeshis dragged one Suraj Lal Pashi into their territory, they said.
