BSF Jawan Killed, Another Injured in 'Firing by Bangladesh Guards' in Bengal's Murshidabad Dist

[SIPRA]

So Islamist are terrorists , and Hindutva are sages , case closed . Not sure if it's the mentality to other Indians too ! But it's a possibility that majority of Indians hold this view !

I am of the opinion that most of the elite Hindus entertain almost similar kind of views about Muslims; though their expression and narrative may vary from subtle and refined to crude and naked.

Bangladeshi officials say that two of their soldiers died and 16 Indian border guards were killed in the clash at a border outpost in Kurigram.

The officer in charge of the operation who’s now retired brig gen. (Don’t remember his name) says it was 300 Indians, loads of trucks were filled with bodies to be sent to India... India claimed 30 kills but according to him 3 died

It was a dogfight, in which only 8 Indian planes were involved while you had 24 in the air. Most international media has reported it that way. Not as a battle.

Oh stop bringing in numbers excuse will you. 65 air battles, Indians were quantitatively superior, yet Pakistanis kicked ***. @waz bhai can tell you more about it in detail and break your wet dreams

Bangladeshis along with the Indian army

Sanghi bro, last 13 days of the war doesn’t count. XD we were doing it for 8+ months alone.
As for the 71, it wasn’t anything against people of Pakistan. It was against the tyrannical govt. of the time

A day after a Border Security Force head constable was shot dead and another was injured by Bangladesh border guards, BSF officers have said the firing was unprovoked, and that the Indian side did not even retaliate.

Thursday’s incident took place along the riverine India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district. As per a statement issued by the BSF, three Indian fishermen were fishing in the Padma river. Two later returned and approached the BSF post in Kakmarichar, stating that the BGB had apprehended them, but later released them to call the BSF for a flag meeting.

According to officials, the point where the flag meeting was to take place is 300-400 metres inside Bangladesh territory. The BSF said their patrol boat, with five personnel on board, came under heavy firing from BGB troops when they went for the flag meeting. Head constable Vijay Bhan Singh (50) was killed on the spot, while the boatman received a bullet injury on his arm.

The third fisherman has still not returned. Officials said he is currently in the custody of the Bangladeshi police.

BGB officials have claimed that the BSF patrol team came to Bangladesh illegally to retrieve the prisoner, and the patrol tried to flee and started firing. They have also said that they opened fire on the BSF team in “self-defence”.

However, BSF Inspector-General (South Bengal Frontier) Y B Khurania has dismissed the BGB allegations. “No firing was done by anyone from BSF. We did not even retaliate after they fired. They even said that the two fisherman (who called the BSF) managed to run away,” Khurania told The Indian Express.

“There is a complete Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for flag meetings — we carry an orange flag, so they knew the officials were there for a flag meeting, and not to forcefully release anyone. The orange flag is also visible in the photograph released by BGB. Now they cannot say that our party was not there for the flag meeting,” he added.

BSF officials said the last incident of firing along the border took place in April 2005. “This is unacceptable… We have lodged a strong protest,” said an official.

Ilish/Hilsha is serious money maker.

Hey at least unlike the Indians shooting dead cattle traders, BGB arrested the folks. So BSF shows up demanding the fish thieves be released, as we know now, BGB said , " hell no."

 

[SIPRA]

To me, overall BGB narrative appears to be far more credible. Clearly, BSF are lying, through their teeth. But, I think that whereas BSF possibly fired in air, in order to scare and get their fisherman released; some BGB personnel shot straight at them, which led to this tragedy.

Take note of the average Bangladeshi's sentiments towards India currently.

Safe to say, Hasina et al better shape up.

Yes. You are right. I have not only noticed it in this thread, but also in many other similar threads, as well. People fail to realize that separation of Bangladesh, from Pakistan, was, in no way, the negation of the ideology on which Pakistan (including Bangladesh) came into being. That concept and ideology still stands, rather has been further reinforced with passing time, separately, both in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh cannot divorce its Muslim identity; even if Bengali identity takes an important position.

Kolkata: A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan was killed, while another injured on Thursday in firing "apparently" by the BGB troops of Bangladesh along the international border of the two countries in West Bengal, officials said.

They said the BSF head constable has been killed along the border in the Murshidabad district after the patrol came under firing. The BSF patrol is understood to be stopping some illegal act on the border.




Preliminary information suggests that the firing was done by the troops of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), officials said. Another trooper of the border guarding force has sustained bullet injury, they said.

They said a 'flag meeting' of ground commanders has been sought by the BSF along the border and it is currently underway. The relations between the BSF and the BGB have been very cordial for decades and there has never been an incident of firing between the two forces.

Finally Banhladeshi showing guts. This should be the beginning of Banhladesh hitting back in every case of Indian aggression

Next time you guys complain about BSF I will quote this incident.

Only a few days ago your BSF has physically beaten a few of our RAB Rapid Action Batallion) Officials who crossed the border by mistake. So, where was the protocol? BSF needs a similar beating that it received in the 2001 Roumari-Meghalaya border. 93 out of 400 IA troops were killed. 13 BDR troops accepted challenge by the 400-strong IA troops instead of vacating their BOP (Border Outpost) in the face of a sudden attack.

Do you guys think our BGB is not angry at that? Now, your thieves crossed the river border to steal our fish and your armed BSF enters our water to take them back. They got a good response to both the misdeeds.

Kya Bangladesh aaplogo ka Mama ka ghar hain? Our only problem is Hasina Bibi.

It’s an accidental incident; BSF showed “hegemony”: FM

Dhaka, Delhi enjoy friendly ties, warm with stability on both sides, he says


Dhaka, Oct 19 (UNB) – Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Saturday termed the recent exchange of fire between the border forces of Bangladesh and India an “accidental incident” saying the members of the Border Security Force (BSF) demonstrated their “hegemony” intruding into Bangladesh’s territory.

“This is one incident. This is an accidental incident and due to a misunderstanding,” he said adding that the members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) fired as the last resort amid BSF’s demonstration of “hegemony”.

In an interview with DW Bengali Department in Berlin, Dr Momen also brushed aside the reports of a section of Indian media based on “inaccurate” information. “The information that Indian media carried was not correct.”

The Foreign Minister described the current Bangladesh-India relations as very friendly and said the key purpose of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s recent visit to India was to further develop the “warm relationship.”

On Thursday, BGB said its members were forced to fire back in self-defence after being attacked by BSF along the Rajshahi border that led to the death of a BSF man.

The BGB said the BSF members intruded into Bangladesh territory and tried to snatch an Indian fisherman detained while illegally fishing in the Padma River.

The incident took place 650 yards inside Bangladesh territory in Shahariaghat Balughat of the river under Charghat upazila in Rajshahi district.

Responding to a question on water-sharing issues, the Foreign Minister said Bangladesh is giving only 1.82 cusecs of water of 126 cusecs from the Feni River for a town having only 6,000 people in Tripura.

Through this mechanism, there will be monitoring so that they cannot take much water ignoring the agreed principles.

Asked about the perception that only India wins in negotiations between the two countries, the Foreign Minister said this is a blatant lie.

He said both sides win, and both Bangladesh and India got back stability due to the current friendly relations. “We don’t have the relations of quarreling.”

FIR against Border Guard Bangladesh over BSF jawan's killing
PTI | Oct 19, 2019, 15:01 IST

KOLKATA: An FIR has been lodged against

Border Guard
Bangladesh (BGB) by its Indian counterpart

Border Security Force
(BSF) over the killing one of its jawans earlier this week, a senior police officer said.


A Bangladeshi border guard on Thursday fired from his

AK-47
rifle during a 'flag meeting' along the international boundary in West Bengal, killing BSF head constable Vijay Bhan Singh (51) and injuring another jawan, Rajvir Yadav.


A BSF statement said the incident took place in

Murshidabad district
around 9 am when a force party approached the BGB troops, standing at a "char" or a riverine in the middle of the Padma river, to resolve an issue linked to Indian fishermen.


"Yes, we have received a complaint from the BSF. A case has been registered and investigation is on," Murshidabad Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar said.


The BSF officials, too, confirmed that police have lodged an FIR against the BGB.


Refuting claims by the Bangladeshi border force that its patrol team "had to open fire in self-defence", a senior official of the BSF said not a single bullet was fired from the Indian side.


"Although an inquiry has been ordered by the BSF, we still decided to lodge a complaint with the police, in accordance with the norms. The allegation by the BGB that we had fired first is not just absurd but a blatant lie. We didn't fire a single bullet," a senior BSF official said.


Officials had said that the trouble arose when BGB personnel held three Indian fishermen who were allowed by the BSF to fish within the International Border, that runs through the middle of the 3-km-wide Padma river.


The BGB team later freed two fishermen and informed the BSF that the third person has been held by them and that was when the BSF post commander of the 117th battalion, a sub-inspector, took a six-member party on a motor-boat to resolve the issue, they said.

Only a few days ago your BSF has physically beaten a few of our RAB

They were beaten by local villagers. Not BSF.

Now, your thieves crossed the river border to steal our fish and your armed BSF enters our water to take them back.

BSF says they didn't open fire. If that is true then all we can say is that an innocent BSF man was killed by the vicious BGB.

93 out of 400 IA troops were killed.

We all know. BD army are trigger happy killers.
