BSF says jawan was attacked in a smuggling incident along the international border in West Bengal
A Bangladeshi national was killed along the international border in West Bengal’s Malda district when Border Security Force (BSF) personnel opened fire to thwart smuggling along the border. A press statement by the BSF said that a jawan posted at a border outpost in the Nawada area was attacked by a group of smugglers.
A press statement by South Bengal Frontier of the BSF said: “The jawan first tried to stop and drive away the smugglers by lobbing non-lethal stun grenade but it had no effect on group of smugglers. In the end, for the sake of self-defense and protection of life and property, he was compelled to fire with his personal weapon, due to which a Bangladeshi smuggler got injured near the fence.”
