BSF Trooper Killed in Firing by Border Guards Bangladesh

A Border Security Force (BSF) trooper was killed and another injured on Thursday after Border Guards Bangladesh fired on them at a flag meeting at Kakmarichar along the riverine international border in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district. The incident sent an alarm bell in the security forces and intelligence agencies as the BSF and the BGB have not exchanged a single bullet for decades. According to the BSF, head constable Vijay Bhan Singh was killed after the team came under fire while returning from the flag meeting in the water channel near Boundary Pillar 75/7-S while another was injured. The flag meeting was held to secure the release of an Indian fisherman apprehended by the BGB earlier in the day. Following the incident, the BSF has apprised the Union Home Ministry about the incident and senior BGB officials have been contacted. (IANS)
