BSF men beat Bangladeshi boy to death
Indian Border Security Force yesterday beat to death a 14-year-old Bangladeshi boy on Johorpur border in the district's Sadar upazila.
Deceased Liton Miah was son of Anwarul Islam in Belpara village of the upazila.
The BSF members of Pirojpur camp under 20 Malda BSF Battalion caught Liton around 12:00 noon when he, along with another boy, was cutting grass inside Indian territory, said Lt Col Abu Zafor Sheikh Mohammad Bazlul Haque, commanding officer of 9 Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Battalion there.
The BSF troops then beat up Liton heavily and left him at the zero line of the frontier in a critical condition. However, the other managed to escape.
Finding Liton, locals took him to his house with the help of BGB men where Liton died later.
On information, police came to the spot and sent the body to Sadar Hospital morgue for an autopsy.
Meanwhile, the BGB sent a protest note to its Indian counterpart, condemning the killing, the BGB official added.
