BSF beats youth to death (bdnews25.wapamp.com/Dhaka)Indian
Border Security Force (BSF)
have allegedly beaten a
Bangladeshi to death on their
side along Benapole's Putkhali
border in Jessore. BSF personnel left the body of
Alamgir Hossain in Dumur Baor
area of Angrail in India early
Friday morning, Border Guards
Bangladesh's Jessore 26
Battalion Commander Subedar Sher-e-Alam told
bdnews24.com. "Sources confirmed us about
the death. The BGB has
protested the killing," he said. Alamgir of Daulatpur village at
Benapole crossed the border
along with 15-20 others in
connection with cattle trade on
Thursday night, his maternal
uncle Kayes Ali told bdnews24.com. Some BSF personnel chased
them near Angrail, he said and
added that all but Alamgir
managed to flee. "BSF left his body at Dumur
Baor around 3am," he added. Human rights activists have
been condemning India over
the killings of Bangladeshis by
the Indian border guards. The
Bangladesh government has
also raised its voice of protest time and again. India has recently provided
BSF with non-fatal arms,
following which the number of
killings has come down. But
BSF members have started
torturing the Bangladeshi nationals, instead, and such
incidents have increased,
according to reports by human
rights organisations.(bdnews25.wapamp.com/Dhaka)
