A Bangladeshi youth named Sabuj Mia was shot dead by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) early Thursday near the Patgram border in Lalmonirhat district. His body was handed over to Bangladeshi authorities 16 hours later at the Nazirgomani Border Outpost in the presence of both countries’ law enforcement officials. The handover took place late Thursday night, with the victim’s family members present. According to local and border sources, Sabuj was killed near border pillar 864/5 at the Shamshernagar area of Patgram upazila. Lalmonirhat police confirmed that the body was returned to the family after completion of legal formalities. The incident has once again drawn attention to recurring border shootings between Bangladesh and India, which have been a source of diplomatic concern. Human rights groups have repeatedly urged both governments to strengthen non-lethal border management and ensure accountability for such incidents.
