BSF returns body of Bangladeshi after flag meet
Naogaon, July 6 - Indian Border Security Force (BSF) returned the half-decomposed body of a Bangladeshi on Saturday night, three days after he was allegedly shot dead along Nitpur border in Porsha upazila of Naogaon district.
The deceased was identified as Ibrahim Hossain, 40, a resident of Rodgram village under Nitpur union of the upazila.
According to locals, Ibrahim took his cattle to graze near the border on Thursday morning when the BSF members from India's Agrabad Camp reportedly opened fire on him, killing him on the spot.
Later, the BSF took the body to India.
Though the BSF initially denied the killing, later they admitted and returned the body through the Nitpur border around 10pm on Saturday, Bangladesh sources said.
Mahfuzur Rahman, company commandant of the BGB-16 Battalion in Nitpur Camp, said they, accompanied by police, received the body from the BSF and subsequently handed it to the family.
Earlier a flag meeting was held between the BGB and BSF in this regard, he said. - UNB
