BSF again kills Bangladeshi
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shot dead a Bangladeshi cattle trader at Ambari border near Shamshernagar village of Patgram upazila in Lalmonirhat on Wednesday night.
The deceased is Shimul Prodhan, 28, son of Hafizar Rahman of the same village.
Six to seven Bangladeshi traders went across the border to bring cattle on Wednesday evening, said sources at the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
While returning home around 10:45pm, a patrol team of 35 BSF Battalion of Choyangarkhata camp in Falakata opened fire on the group leaving Shimul dead on the spot. The rest of the traders managed to return unhurt with the body.
Bulbul Islam Prodhan, Shimul's elder brother, said his brother's body was taken to Patgram Upazila Health Complex.
He sustained bullets in chest and belly, his brother added.
Protesting the killing, BGB sent a letter to BSF of Choyangarkhata camp for holding a flag meeting, said Lieutenant Colonel Shafiul Alam Khan, commanding officer of BGB Battalion-15.
The body was handed over to Shimul's family after an autopsy.
