There was no flag meeting before the shooting, we didn't invite them for flag meeting and shoot them without any provocation and there is no Major rank in BSF. You need some formality arrange a flag meeting. We prohibit Hilsha fishing for certain periods to keep the female hilsha safe, let it lay eggs to increase Hilsha's amount. BGB tried to arrest three fishermen while conducting patrol in Padma river with some officials from ministry of fisheries to prevent fishing Hilsha. Two of them escaped and one got caught with fishing net. Later BGB found out they are Indian.
After a while a BSF patrol team cross the zero point without BGB permission and enter inside our territory illegally. They asked BGB to handover the fisherman to them but BGB said they will do it after arranging a flag meeting between two parties with formalities and told them to wait for senior officer's arrival. But BSF tried to grab the fisherman and go back suddenly. They even beat their own fisherman. When BGB tried to stop them BSF fired 6-8 rounds at BGB. For self-defense BGB took position and started shooting back at them. BSF kept firing while backing out and going back.
After the incident both parties arranged a flag meeting where BSF commander informed it's counterpart that one of their own dies and another got shot in hand. They still haven't officially protested or informed about the death of their soldier.
This happened after bringing that fisherman on our river bank. They got spooked when BGB talked about flag meeting and senior official's arrival
It is pretty clear from the press conference, that these BSF goons run an organized crime of sort. They get a cut from the fishermen for the Hilsha they catch. That's why they got spooked when BGB talked about the flag meeting. The officer didn't mention it explicitly, but the very fact they get scared of flag meeting means they clearly know they were breaking protocol.
Just like they do with cattle smugglers, if you pay commission, you are free to go. If you don't pay up, you die. It's nothing but an organized crime ring run by BSF around our border. And the victims are the innocent citizens like Felani and thousand others who can't afford to pay up.
