Shillong, Feb 17(UNI) Four persons were seriously injured when a group of Bangladeshi nationals attempted to murder them in Meghalaya's Balat-Ranikor village bordering Bangladesh.

The incident occurred on February 15 when six Bangladeshi nationals, armed with lethal weapons, forcibly entered the village and assaulted four Indian villagers, state's West Khasi Hills District Superintendent of Police Dalton P Marak told UNI here today.
