Brother, this @bongbang character is not even Bangladeshi. He is most likely a Hindu idol worshipper from West Bengal. Allah is watching him and will punish him inshallah

Indian govt asked to pay Rs 5 lakh to Felani’s family

National Human Rights Commission of India today asked the Indian government to pay Rs 5 lakh in compensation to the family of Felani Khatun, who was shot dead by the Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) in January 2011.

The decision came over a month after a special court of BSF upheld its previous verdict that acquitted one of its troopers for the killing.

“Indian National Human Rights Commission board members made the call unanimously in asuo moto move (on its own)” Abraham Lincoln, public prosecutor and lawyer of Bangladesh side of the killing case, told The Daily Star.

The lawyer said that a truth has been established through the move that Felani was a victim of BFS firing. “Therefore, from the perspective compensating a victim, Felani’s family has to be compensated,” he added.

Fifteen-year-old Felani was shot dead while she, along with her father, was returning home from India through Anantapur border in Phulbari upazila of northern district of Kurigram on January 7, 2011. Felani’s dead body was found hung from barbwire along the border for hours.

After the media published the heart wrenching photo, protests erupted in Bangladesh.

A special court of the BSF began trial over this incident on August 13, 2013. The court acquitted the lone accused trooper, Amiya Ghosh, of the murder charge on September 6, 2013.

The same the court revised the trial upholding its previous verdict after Felani's father appealed to Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh for revision trial in the case.

Later, a writ petition was filed with the Indian Supreme Court seeking retrial of the murder.

The court has fixed October 5 to hear the petition, Abraham Lincoln further told The Daily Star.

It's just a recommendation, they are not the supreme authority to dictate the govt. A compensation should not be paid as Felani and her father were clearly on the wrong side of the law. However, a grant can be considered, but then we have to also consider that illegal crossing of border along the Bangladeshi border is a major problem that we face, such a move will send a wrong message across the border.

Besides, govt. should take necessary steps to stop further harrassment of the BSF jawan who was doing his duty.

I am fully aware that it is a recommendation stated by a human rights group. While I admit that Felani and her father are on the wrong side of the law but, the regarding the situation in which she was killed is something we cannot let go. Additionally, what message would people who cross illegally get? That they should let themselves be killed to get money in return. Majority of them might be uneducated but, they are not stupid.

Also, remember Felani was only 15 years old, dangling on the top of a fence and screaming. If you were the BSF jawan in this situation what would your first reaction be?

No, the message would go that since we have paid some 'compensation', we must be at fault for trying to stop illegal border crossing. Compensation is paid when a wrong has been committed, not for someone getting killed by the law enforcing agencies while committing a crime.

And they were not crossing the border in full daylight, obviously they were deliberately taking advantage of the low light and dense fog of morning hours for cover, in such a situation the BSF jawan did what was safe and suitable, considering that our BSF jawans, even officers many a times get attacked and killed by the criminals involved in smuggling and drug or human trafficking and frequently crossing the border. You would not bother at all if it was not Felani and her father but some professional criminal, or they had a bunch of human traffickers with them hiding in the fog, and the BSF jawan got killed while trying to go close to verify. In fact Bangladeshi members here celebrate and make fun of such deaths.

India at one point of time even barred use of lethal weapons by the BSF, we lost quite a few jawans and officers to Bangladeshi criminals during that time, Bangladeshi govt. did nothing to stop it. Our goodwill gesture was not reciprocated well, then how can you expect that we will continue following that path and sacrifice our jawans, they are humans too, and they too have families.

The main focus here isn't trying to stop illegal activity on the border, but rather the death of a 15 year old girl in a helpless situation. The key point is, she started screaming when trapped. These traffickers, drug dealers are predominately male. Any person should be able to differentiate the screams between that of a child and an adult male.

The case is already over.

Now you want our jawans to identify the age of someone screaming from a distance in a very low visibility situation, but you won't blame the father for doing that criminal act and putting the life of his daughter in danger. The jawan shot at the fence from a distance in a foggy situation, there could be two people or twenty people, Felani's voice could actually be thick, maybe she was sobbing and her father was screaming, we don't know, but we know that the jawan didn't shot at a toddler playing at a park.

It's only in India where we have entertained a case against that jawan, justice for what..someone getting shot while knowingly crossing a fenced and guarded international border illegally with a ladder in the cover of fog? USA shoot down more people in Mexican border every year than the number of such deaths in Indo-BD border in last 10 years, and we face a far larger problem than them.

@SHK I told you earlier how 'paying compensation' would send a wrong message across the border, and now you have the proof of that right here.

I won't deny what the father did was foolish and he does bear some responsibility for his daughter's death but, I will certainly not mention that to a man who just lost his daughter. The number of people can surely be identified just through hearing voices upon the fact that a someone was screaming. He should be able to distinguish a group of twenty people together vs. two just through the ear. They could just fire warning shots if you have to do so to get the crowd to move away. All the reports I have read stated that Felani was screaming before her death. Regardless, shooting someone sobbing sounds just as heartless.

The issues with deaths in the Mexican border have just as much outraged in Mexico as it does in Bangladesh. I will however, give India credit for bringing a trial up at the very least.

Also, he misunderstood the article in general. And wow one random guy on the internet. You sure showed me.
