The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) returned the body of Bangladeshi citizen Ali Hossain, aged 38, nearly 17 hours after he was shot dead along the Patgram border in Lalmonirhat. The handover took place at 8:50 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, near border pillar 868/3 in the presence of both Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and BSF officials. The process was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Syed Fazle Munim, commander of the Teesta-61 BGB battalion. Earlier, Indian police from Mathabhanga station had handed the body to Patgram police, who later delivered it to Hossain’s elder brother, Anwar Hossain.
According to local sources, the incident occurred late Tuesday night when Ali Hossain reportedly crossed the zero line near the Dhabalguri border and entered about 500 yards inside Indian territory. The BSF claimed that 7–8 Bangladeshis had entered India to cut the barbed-wire fence, prompting warning shots. During a scuffle, Ali Hossain was hit by a bullet and later declared dead at an Indian hospital.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions and risks faced by civilians along the Bangladesh-India border.
