An elderly man who had been stranded for 24 hours in the no-man’s land near the Ramrampur border of Bakshiganj upazila in Jamalpur has been identified and is now in police custody. The man, named Shashti Chandra Barman, aged 68, is the son of Babu Chandra Barman and a resident of Chandlai village in Godagari upazila of Rajshahi district. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) rescued him around 7 a.m. on Thursday from the area near international pillar number 1082 and brought him to Bakshiganj police station. BGB officials said he would be handed over to his family once they arrive.
The previous morning, tension had arisen at the Ramrampur border when attempts were made to bring the man into Bangladesh, leading to a standoff involving local residents, BGB, and India’s Border Security Force (BSF). His photos later went viral on television and social media, helping his family contact BGB to confirm his identity.
Authorities reported that the man remains at the police station while arrangements are made for his family to take him home.
