We also wonder at the very circumstances of Razzak's abduction. The press release by the BDR Headquarters raises more questions than it answers. According to it, “The BGB soldiers were conducting routine patrol on civil boats. Suddenly, around 5:30am, soldiers of the Myanmar BGP appeared with a boat, opened fire on one of the BGB boats, injuring one soldier. The BGB team also retaliated with gunshots.” Obviously, there was physical contact between them when the two sides locked into a scuffle. And the BGP patrol fled when the second BGB boat approached the scene. But what raises our eyebrow is the following part of the press release which says, “The BGP men then disappeared and took BGB Naik Razzaq and his SMG along with them. The rest of the members of that boat saved them by jumping into the river and swam ashore.”
We take it that the BGP had intruded illegally into our territory since the BGB boats were inside our territory and a scuffle cannot take place unless the two sides are physically upon one another. If the BGP disappeared at the sight of the second BGP patrol boat, how come they managed to abduct BGB Nayek with his weapons while beating retreat? Why did our border guard personnel have to swim ashore when there were not one but two boats on the scene? And what did Nayek Razzak's comrades do to prevent his abduction? And what was the misunderstanding that the state minister for home was referring to?
