Two Bangladeshi nationals were shot dead by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) along the Pathariadwar border in Gopinathpur Union of Kasba upazila, Brahmanbaria, late Friday night. The deceased were identified as Morsalin, a second-year HSC student from Dhajanagar village, and Nabi Hossain, aged 40, from Madhupur village. Their bodies were reportedly taken to GB Hospital in Agartala. Several other Bangladeshi youths were injured and taken to Comilla for treatment.

According to family and local sources, a group of smugglers had taken Morsalin to the border area, where BSF opened fire, killing him instantly. Nabi Hossain, who was also present, was injured and later died at the hospital. Local residents confirmed hearing about the deaths and said BSF took the bodies across the border. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local administration officials said they had received reports of at least one death and were investigating the incident.

Authorities stated that the border situation remains normal while further details are being verified.
