A big group of illegal immigrants from Asia has been apprehended by Hungarian border guards as they crossed from Ukraine.

Hungarian reports say the group of one-hundred-and-seventeen people, most of them Bangladeshis, were hidden in two trucks.

Indians and Afghans were also said to be among them.

They are being held at the Hungarian guard station in Beregsurany, from where those who apply for asylum will be sent to refugee shelters.
