Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) prevented an alleged push-in attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) at the Sheoratola border in Gangni upazila of Meherpur early Thursday. According to local sources, BSF personnel tried to send seven individuals—six men and one woman—into Bangladesh through the area between international border pillars 142/5S and 142/6S. The attempt reportedly originated from the direction of Brojonathpur village under Murutia police station in Nadia district, India.

Local residents said BGB members quickly reached the spot after detecting the movement and lodged a strong protest. Villagers also joined in resisting the push-in, prompting BSF to retreat with the seven people back into Indian territory. No official statement was issued by BGB regarding the incident.

Locals claimed that the swift response of BGB and the involvement of nearby residents were key factors in preventing the attempted push-in from succeeding.
