You sure you are a Bangladeshi? You know very little about the habits of hilsa and the bans imposed. Bans on fishing are not only imposed on sea in Bangladesh. As the fish return via the rivers, bans have to be imposed in the rivers, thats why you see places like Chandpur and Laxmipur come under the fishing ban.I ain't twisting anything. You think Indian fishermen who illegally enter in our territory for fish won't come because it's Hilsha season? Two months ban for our fishermen is perfect opportunity for them. Who said Hilsha is only found in the river??!! That basically lives in sea, only comes to river to lay eggs. Why do you think there's two month ban on fishing in the sea? You totally forgot this fact. And think matters to fishermen whether they gets the tasty one or not? All size of Hilsha get sold, even the small one called Jatka Ilish. Ilish travel to BD far from sea, their fat gets burned during that swim. Who said Ilish in the sea doesn't taste good? Huge chunk of Ilish are caught in the sea.
Secondly, if we are talking of young hilsa, they are found all over BoB in areas bordering India and BD. Those are not prized varieties, everyone wants a piece of Padma hilsa on their plate.
Now unless Indian fishermen have devised a magical way to fish on your Padma and Meghna rivers i don't think they will have access to it. Only way is if your fishermen catches them in your rivers, sell them to your traders(dalals) at cheap prices who then illegally export them to various parts of India to earn profits.
