BSF shoots Indian youth trying to enter Bangladesh illegally

[The Ronin]

Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shot and injured a citizen of the country when he was entering Bangladesh through Kurigram's Fulbari border last night.

Nageshwari police rescued and admitted the youth to Kurigram General Hospital with bullet wounds, Lt Col Touhidul Alam, Captain of Lalmonirhat BGB Battalion-15; and Officer-in-Charge of local police station Roushan Kabir, told reporters.

The injured -- Milon Miah (18), son of Guzu Alam of Shahidaler Kuthi village under Sahebganj thana of India's Cooch Behar -- was illegally crossing the border to visit his maternal grandfather's house in Nageshwari upazila, police said.

Talking to media at the hospital, the victim said after being shot, he received treatment at Nageshwar Upazila Health Complex and went to his grandfather's residence.

When police came to know, he was rushed to Kurigram General Hospital around 3:30am.

His condition is stable at present, said Dr Pulol Kumar Sarkar, Resident Medical Officer (RMO) of the hospital.

Bangladesh Border Guard will take further decision on whether any legal action will be taken against the youth.

"We are looking into it. We will convey our decision through a press release later," Lt Col Touhidul Alam said.

Why do BSF shoot everyone who gets near Bangladesh border or cross illegally? Shows lack of ethics and morals in individual soldiers. If killing comes easy with unarmed civilians then I feel for soldiers family they are just as much in danger.

Nice, anyone crossing the border illegally should be shot.

Good going BSF.

Because that is the best they can do- shoot unarmed civilians and run away. You won't see BSF shooting at Bangladeshi Border Guards, BGB. Because they know they will get whacked if they try that. Happened many times in the past.

BSF jawans who get posted to Bangladesh border are an undisciplined bunch and lacks moral. Drinks on the job and shoots civilians. And there have been cases of raping their own citizens too.

BGB on the other hand arrests Indian trespassers and follow due protocol. They have their hands tied because the govt does not want to destabilize the relationship with India. Otherwise they would whack BSF in every possible way.

Nice, anyone crossing the border illegally should be shot.

Good going BSF.

Like a 15 year old girl? Google Felani Bangladesh.

From your post, I think you will get a sadistic pleasure in seeing a dead body of a teenager hanging on the border barb wire.

That is it. You take it bravely on your chin.

Don't know English?
Reality check.
Bangladeshis don't speak Hindi

A big population do speak.

 

[HostileInsurgent]

Your ignorance is profound. Visit the country and try your gibberish in streets of Dhaka and see what happens .

Well I can speak Bengali though. And some Bangladeshis know Hindi as well.

It is probably you who got shot.

Not enough damage was done.
