Indian BSF kills another Bangladeshi : 26 border killings in four months
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) killed one more Bangladeshi along Benapole border on Friday as the killing spree on Bangladesh border continues unabated despite India's repeated pledges to stop such killings.According to UNB report, a Bangladeshi cattle trader was beaten to death by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) along Gatipara border here early Friday.The deceased was identified as Samir, 25, son of Nara of Gatipara village.
BDR and villagers said BSF members of Kaliani camp after a good chase caught Samir while he was returning home from India along with cattle.Then the Indian border guards beat him to death and dumped his body to frontier Isamoti River.
Being tipped-off by locals, police later recovered the body and brought it to Bongaon thana. With this, BSF killed 26 Bangladeshi nationals in over four months and 106 in last 13 months. The number of Bangladeshis killed by BSF during the nine years period from January 1, 2000 to May 10, 2010 stands at 831. BSF also injured 860 and abducted 903 Bangladeshis in the same period.
The killings of unarmed Bangladeshis by the BSF on the border are continuing in clear violation of the spirit of good neighborliness as well as international law and despite repeated pledges by the Indian authorities to stop it. In every meeting between BSF and BDR and also between the higher level officials of the two countries, the Indian side assures that killing of Bangladeshis by its forces on the border would come to an end immediately. But this pledge is seldom implemented.
