After entering the neighboring area by crossing the border along Rajshahi this afternoon, a 14-year-old Bangladeshi kid was shot and killed by the Indian Border Security Force.
Lt Col Nahid Hossain, the commanding officer of the 53 BGB Battalion in Chapainawabganj, stated that Samirul Islam, a 14-year-old boy from Ashriadaha locality of Godagari upazila, passed away instantly.
Between border pillars 41/5-S and 41/6-S, beneath BGB’s DMC border outpost, there was gunfire at 12:15 p.m.
In a flag conference with 35 Battalion BSF at the zero line, BGB members hurried to the scene and vehemently objected to the child’s death, according to CO Nahid.
In response, the BSF expressed deep regret and described it as an unexpected incident.
BSF officials also told the BGB that they would form an inquiry committee to investigate the incident and take action against the responsible person.
The BSF also assured the BGB that such incidents would not be repeated in the future. It was not possible to get in touch with the victim’s family members for a response.
