DHAKA: Two more Bangladeshis were allegedly shot dead by India's Border Security Force personnel at Gopalpur village along the Jadabpur border of Bangladesh on Saturday. Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) sources said the BSF opened "unprovoked" fire. The BDR protested against the incident and demanded the immediate return of the bodies. Reports suggest that Jahidur Rahman, 24, and Moktar, 20, both villagers, were going to their field around 5 a.m. when the BSF men allegedly fired at them. The BSF jawans reportedly took away the bodies from the Bangladesh territory. The reported killing was highlighted by the Bangladesh media which reported "indiscriminate firing and troops build-up" by India following the April 16 heavy exchange of fire along the Akhaura border, when a BSF officer and a Bangladeshi girl were killed. "The farmers were shot dead by the Border Security Force men after they strayed into no-man's land at Hairharpur on the Jhenidah-Chhabish Paragana border," a Bangladesh Rifles spokesman told journalists. An earlier report said a group of Indian BSF personnel entered the Tarapur village of Kasba upazilla in Brahmanbaria on Friday night "causing panic" among the villagers. Apprehending trouble, the villagers raised an alarm. A BDR patrol party came to the spot but they refrained from firing and allowed the BSF jawans to return to their territory, the local media claimed.
