Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) handed over a member of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) this evening, hours after he was detained along Angarpota border under Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat for entering Bangladesh illegally.

The detained BSF member is Bed Prokash, a constable of the Arjun BSF Camp under the 174 BSF Battalion of Mekhliganj police station in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal, India.

According to the BGB, Prokash crossed the zero line of the Bangladesh-India border and entered about 200 yards inside Bangladesh while chasing Indian cattle smugglers.

At that time, members of the Angarpota Camp of Rangpur 51 BGB Battalion, who were on border patrol duty, detained him from the Angarpota border around 4:30am today.

At the time of detention, BGB members seized one shotgun, two rounds of ammunition, one wireless set, and an Android mobile phone from his possession.

He was handed over to BSF through a flag meeting held near the Border Pillar No. 812 at Tinbigha Corridor area this evening, added the BGB sources.

Confirming the matter, Lt Col Selim Aldin, commanding officer of BGB Battalion-51 in Rangpur, said the BSF authorities expressed regret and apologised for the incident of illegal intrusion by their member into Bangladesh territory.

"BGB members are always vigilant to prevent all kinds of crimes along the border," he added.

Indian Border Security Force (BSF) attempted to construct a barbed wire fence at the Ghonapara border in Panchbibi upazila of Joypurhat on Saturday morning, violating international border regulations, but were forced to stop after intervention by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

Early Saturday morning, under dense fog, BSF personnel began the construction near the zero line at East Unchana Ghonapara, under the Koya BOP, around sub-pillars 47, 48, and 49 of border pillar 281. Local residents informed the Koya camp of the Joypurhat-20 BGB Battalion, prompting BGB personnel to arrive at the site and halt the construction.

Subsequently, a flag meeting was held between BGB and BSF officials. During the meeting, BSF assured that no further construction would take place and agreed to remove any erected barbed wire. BGB also formally lodged a protest regarding the incident.

Confirming the incident, Assistant Director of Joypurhat-20 BGB Mohammad Imran Hossain said, “A flag meeting was held today with BSF at the company commander level. BGB always maintains a firm stance against border violations and will take all necessary measures to protect the country’s sovereignty.”
