KUSHTIA: The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has foiled an attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to push four people into Bangladesh through the Daulatpur border in Kushtia.
In a press release issued at 11am on Sunday (October 11), the Kushtia Battalion (47 BGB) said the incident occurred around 7:45am near the Thotapara border area of Daulatpur upazila.
According to the release, members of the BSF’s 146th Battalion, stationed at the Uday Kishan camp, attempted to push the four people into Bangladesh from a location about 50 yards inside Indian territory near border pillar 153/9-S.
The attempt was thwarted by the BGB’s alert presence and immediate preventive action. The four individuals returned to Indian territory around 8am in the face of the BGB’s firm stance.
The group comprised two men and two women. Their identities were not immediately known.
The 47 BGB battalion said it remained vigilant against illegal infiltration and violations of border regulations, adding that its personnel were performing their duties professionally and responsibly to ensure border security and maintain law and order in the area.
