A Bangladeshi YouTuber who runs the channel "DH Travelling Info", has raised concerns on social media after an old video of him explaining how to enter India illegally went viral. The man tells his viewers that no official documents, including visa, passport, or identity card is required, to enter India from Bangladesh.

The video shows the man standing in Sunamganj District, located in the Sylhet division of Bangladesh, which serves as an entry point to India. Thereafter, he also shows a road that leads to India. He also reveals that people who choose to take this route will have to face consequences, such as the blunt of BSF officers.

Although he warns people not to enter the country illegally, and tarnish Bangladesh's name, the video has erupted with controversy, as several users reacted to it.
