India-Bangladesh Home Secretary-level talks will begin on Monday here with the main agenda being tackling terror groups and their cross-border activities. Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi and his Bangladesh counterpart Mozammel Haque Khan and their teams will engage in intense discussions for two days for strengthening the anti terrorism mechanism, sharing of information about terrorists and terror groups.
Both sides are expected to flag the menace of smuggling of cattle, narcotics and arms through the porous Indo-Bangladesh border and are expected to find out ways to check them.

Bangladesh may press for Indian cooperation in nabbing its most wanted criminals, especially those who were involved in war crimes and assassination of Bangladesh founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
