A Bangladeshi man was shot dead, allegedly by Indian Khasi people, near the Goabari border area in Sylhet's Jaintapur upazila early Sunday. 

The deceased, Madassir Ali, 52, was a resident of Guabari Adarsha village in the same upazila, reports UNB. 

Confirming the matter, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Jaintapur Police Station, Golam Dastgir Ahmed, said that Madassir went to collect betel nuts near the border area on Saturday night. 

“Khasi people from the Indian side opened fire at him,” he said. 

The body was recovered by the police and sent to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital morgue for autopsy, he added.
