Cattle trader shot dead by BSF
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shot dead a Bangladeshi cattle trader on Dharmajain border in Biral upazila early Friday.
The dead, Abdur Razzak, 44, was the son of late Habibor Rahman of Bonbari village in Thakurgaon's Haripur upazila.
Locals said Razzak along with other cattle traders entered India through Dharmajain border early Friday. The BSF men of Gangarampur in Dakshin Dinajpur district opened fire on Razzak when he was returning home along with cattle around 4:30am. Razzak died on the spot.
The BSF took the body inside Indian territory and handed it over to Gangarampur police later.
Jamal Hossain, commanding officer of BGB Dinajpur-2 Battalion, confirmed the incident. He said the BGB had strongly protested the killing.
At a flag meeting yesterday morning, the BSF said they would return the body, the BGB official said.
