Agartala, May 11: The Border Security Force (BSF) has handed over the bodies of two suspected Bangladeshi smugglers to Bangladesh authorities after they were killed in firing along the India-Bangladesh international border in Tripura’s Sepahijala district.
The deceased were identified as Nabir Hussain (40) and Md. Mursalin (22).
According to officials, BSF personnel on night patrol noticed a group of suspected Bangladeshi smugglers allegedly attempting to smuggle items from the Indian side into Bangladesh. The incident happened on May 9.
“The BSF jawans challenged the group and repeatedly warned them against moving towards the border. However, they ignored the warnings and allegedly started pelting stones and bricks at the BSF personnel, forcing the troops to open fire,” an official said.
The injured were immediately shifted to government hospitals for treatment, where doctors later declared them dead.
“Following post-mortem examinations conducted on Saturday afternoon, the bodies were formally handed over to Bangladesh authorities in the presence of officials from both sides of the border,” the official added.
