Two Bangladeshis were shot dead by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) for allegedly entering the country’s border in the Darshana upazila of Chuadanga on Saturday night.

The deceased were identified as Sajedur Rahman, 27, son of Haider Ali, and Khaja Moinuddin, 30, son of Shariat Ullah. Both men were from Chhoygharia village under Parkrisnapur-Madna union of the upazila.

According to a villager they heard two people crossed the border into India to “smuggle” cattle at night, and they were shot dead.

Darshana police station’s Officer-in-Charge, Biplob Kumar Saha, said two locals might have gone into India, crossing the border, to bring in cattle.

The process of bringing the dead bodies back to the country is going on, the OC said.
