In a powerful show of resistance, thousands of local residents formed a human wall along a one-kilometer stretch of the border at Kochakata in Kurigram to prevent the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) from pushing 50–60 civilians into Bangladesh territory. The incident occurred near the Indian village of Faiskarkuti, where BSF had allegedly gathered the group at a local school with intentions to forcibly cross them into Bangladesh. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Ansar-VDP forces took a firm stance to block the attempt. When BSF sought to negotiate with BGB late at night, the request was denied. Eventually, by around 3 AM, BSF retreated from the zero line.
