Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) stopped an attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to push a mentally unstable man into Bangladesh through the Burimari border in Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning near the zero point area adjacent to the Burimari land port, where there is no barbed wire fence. A patrol team from the Teesta Battalion 61 under the Burimari Border Outpost (BOP) noticed the attempt and immediately intervened, sending the man back to India. BGB’s firm stance prevented the push-in attempt.
Following the incident, BGB intensified patrols in Burimari and surrounding border areas to maintain security. The force stated that communication at the commander level between BGB and BSF is being pursued to protest the attempt and ensure normal border conditions. Local residents praised BGB’s prompt action, saying it helped prevent unauthorized entry across the border.
BGB officials confirmed that the situation along the border remains under control, with continued vigilance to prevent similar incidents in the future.
