Woman tells of her ordeal at border hearing
Satkhira, Nov 26 (bdnews24.com) — A delegation of Indian border guards
on Friday heard a Bangladeshi woman who described her ordeal of being
raped and then seeing her husband get killed at the hands of their
colleagues who detained them on the other of the border.
Some members of India's Border Security Force (BSF) raped the woman,
of Balabari village, Ashashuni Upazila, and then killed her husband
Rabindranath Mandal when he tried to save his wife, she told the
hearing.
The woman said that a patrol team from BSF's Ghojadanga camp detained
them when they were on their way from India to Bangladesh on April 22
last year. Rabindranath had gone to India illegally for treatment in
2008, she said.
The hearing took place during a BDR-BSF flag meeting at Bhomra border
in Satkhira.
The following morning, the woman said, the BSF jawans left her and her
husband's body at the Zero Line at Lakkhidari.
They were later rescued by Bangladesh police and border officials. The
victim accused some unidentified BSF personnel when she filed a case
with Satkhira Sadar police.
Bhomra company commander Subeder Munsur Helal headed the five-member
BDR team while the BSF delegation was led by Ghojadanga camp commander
A C Sanjay Kumer.
