Cattle smugglers killed in BSF firing
Special Correspondent
KOLKATA: Three persons including a Bangladeshi national were killed when a Border Security Force jawan fired at a group of people, trying to smuggle out cattle across the India- Bangladesh border in the Chengrabandha area of West Bengal’s Coochbehar district on Thursday.
The jawan, who was attacked by the cattle smugglers when challenging them, opened 18 rounds of fire in which the men were killed at around 9.15 pm, the BSF’s Inspector General [North Bengal] Nand Kishore, told The Hindu over telephone from Siliguri on Friday.
Incidents of smuggling of cattle across the border into Bangladesh were frequent, often forcing the BSF jawans to resort to firing to check such activity, the BSF’s Additional Director General (East), U.K. Bansal said. There have been nearly 120 incidents when the BSF have had to fire on cattle smugglers over the past three months.
