The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday morning took back 12 people, including women and children, who had been stranded for three days at the zero line of the Pragpur border in Daulatpur, Kushtia. The handover occurred around 11 a.m. near pillar 148/3-S following a flag meeting between Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and BSF representatives. The meeting was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Rashed Kamal Roni, commander of BGB Battalion 47.
According to BGB sources, BSF had earlier pushed the 12 individuals into Bangladesh illegally. With local assistance, BGB identified and took them into custody before returning them to BSF after completing legal procedures. Previous flag meetings on Friday and Saturday failed to resolve the issue due to BSF’s non-cooperation and denial of involvement in the push-in. BSF later sought time to investigate after BGB lodged a formal protest.
The returned group included members of two families who claimed to be Bangladeshi citizens. BGB stated it remains on high alert to protect the border and national interests.
