A 22-year-old Bangladeshi woman swam across the border to marry her boyfriend from India taking the term ‘anything for love’ to the next level.
The 22-year-old woman, identified as Krishna Mandal braved the wild forests of the Sunderbans, swam for an hour and entered India to unite with the love of her life, a report added.
The love story, which is worth inspiring a short film, began on Facebook where Krishna Mandal and Abhik Mandal first met. The duo soon struck a chord and fell for each other. However, they belonged to different countries with a border keeping them apart.

Apparently, Krishna did not have a valid passport to visit India legally. But determined to meet her lover, she decided to embark on an arduous journey and cross illegally into the neighbouring country.
The first hurdle in Krishna’s journey was the wilderness of the Sunderbans that is home to the ferocious Royal Bengal Tigers and other wild animals. After wading through the forest, Krishna swam for more than one hour in the Malta River and managed to reach the other side, as per police sources.
The love birds got united when Krishna finally met Abhik in the Kaikhali village in West Bengals’ South 24 Parganas district. The duo then drove off to Kolkata and tied the knot at the Kalighat Temple.
However, she was arrested on Monday for wrongfully crossing the India-Bangladesh border.
According to sources Krishna may be handed over to the Bangladesh High Commission.
