Kurigram, Jan 7 (bdnews24.com) Indian border forces have shot dead a teenaged girl tangled in barbed wire along the Kurigram border. The Indians then took away the girl's body.
'Felani', 15, was shot dead by the Chowdhuryhaat camp Border Security Force at Anantapur around 6:30am on Friday, BDR's Phulbari company commander Nayek Subeder Abdul Jabbar told reporters.
Patrols in the area have been strengthened since the incident, he added.
He also said a letter, asking the Indian forces to return the body, has been dispatched.
Quoting locals, Phulbari police chief Monayem Sarker said Felani's father Nurul Islam Nuru, hailed from Banarbhita village of Nageshwari and worked in Delhi.
Felani had been returning to Bangladesh with her father as her marriage had been settled with a local boy, said Sarker.
Nuru, however, managed to cross the barbed wire with a ladder, he said.
Felani started screaming when her clothes got entangled in the wire, "Hearing her scream, the BSF members shot her and took away the body," said Sarker.
According to human rights organisation Odhikar, BSF kills one Bangladeshi every four days. The organisation has also claimed that in 2010, 74 Bangladeshis were killed, 72 injured and 43 were abducted.
New York-based human rights group Human Rights Watch, in its new report published on Dec 9, said the Indian government should prosecute BSF soldiers responsible for serious human rights abuses like indiscriminate use of force, arbitrary detention, torture, and killings.
