A tense situation erupted on Wednesday at the Bakshiganj border in Jamalpur after an alleged attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to push an Indian national into Bangladesh. The incident occurred near pillar 1082 at the Ramrampur border, where the BSF reportedly left a 60-year-old man in the no-man’s land after failing to push him in due to resistance from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local residents. Later, when the man tried to enter Bangladesh, he was stopped and returned to the neutral zone.

A flag meeting between BGB and BSF failed to resolve the issue, as neither side agreed to take responsibility for the man. The situation escalated in the afternoon when residents from both sides engaged in chasing and counter-chasing across the barbed-wire fence. Locals said the BSF frequently attempts push-ins, leading to repeated tensions. BGB’s 35 Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Hasanur Rahman urged citizens not to cross the zero line and to cooperate with border guards.

The incident has heightened local tension, though no casualties were reported.
