BSF picks up youth

Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) picked up a Bangladeshi cattle trader from Toluigachha frontier in Satkhira district early yesterday. The victim was identified as Mohammad Rana, 29, son of Shawkat Sheikh of Gobindakati village in Sadar upazila. Bordering villagers said BSF troops from Tarali camp at Swarupnagar in Indian Pascimbanga state picked up Rana when he went to the border to bring cattle around 1:00am. Major Abu Motaher Mohammed Sohel, operation officer of 38 Rifles Battalion of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), said BSF arrested Rana as he might have entered into Indian territory by mistake. Meanwhile, a company commander level meeting between BSF and BGB was held around 12:00pm yesterday. BSF men informed that Rana was sent to jail after he was handed over to Swarupnagar police station in Bashirhat of Pascimbanga.
