BSF kills 1


The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) of Banshghata camp yesterday gunned down a Bangladeshi youth at Dhanyakhola border near Benapole land port.

Locals claimed the dead is Babu, 26, a resident of the same area. Bangladesh Rifles said that they heard of the incident, but they could not confirm the identity of the slain.

The BSF shot the youth two times while he was walking along the border at around 5:00am and later dragged the body into Indian territory, locals added.

They sent the body to Bongaon Hospital, sources said.
