Dhaka protests BSF killing

Bangladesh has strongly protested and expressed deep concern over the unprovoked shooting and killing of a minor girl by Indian Border Security Force (BSF).
A 12-year old Bangladeshi girl was shot dead by the troops of 162 BSF Sahapara camp at about 6:00pm on Friday.
The body was, later, found about 25 yards inside Bangladesh territory near border pillar No 1066 under Roumari thana of Kurigram district.
A protest note, handed over to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, states that "such shooting incidents are in clear violation of the Bangladesh-India Border Guidelines of 1975," said a foreign ministry release yesterday.
“Bangladesh has also expressed concern at the trend of indiscriminate shooting and killing by the BSF, which creates unnecessary tensions between the two border security forces.
"Such acts go against the spirit of good neighbourliness and the close friendly relations that exist between Bangladesh and India," the protest note observed.
Bangladesh has demanded a proper investigation by the Indian authorities concerned and legal action against those responsible for the killing.
"Bangladesh has also called for a strong policy directive to the BSF to put an end to such shootings," the note said.
