A Bangladeshi youth named Md. Mizan Islam, aged 18, was critically injured after being shot by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) near the Gatiarvita border area of Dhabalsuti Union in Patgram, Lalmonirhat, on Monday morning, April 6, 2026. According to local sources, Mizan, son of Mofizul Islam from Rahmatpur Gatiarvita village, had entered about 10 yards inside Indian territory while irrigating a paddy field when members of the BSF’s 98th Battalion from Gomti Camp opened fire. He sustained a shoulder injury and managed to return to Bangladeshi territory, after which locals took him to Rangpur Medical College Hospital for treatment.

Following the incident, locals detained an Indian national named Shri Sadhan Barman along with two cows and handed him over to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). Lieutenant Colonel Syed Fazle Munim, commander of the Teesta Battalion 61 BGB, stated that a flag meeting between the border commanders of both countries has been requested to discuss the shooting and subsequent detention. He confirmed that the situation along the border is currently under BGB control.
