India’s Border Security Force allegedly pushed five people, including a person claiming to be an Indian national, into Bangladesh through the Benipur border in Chuadanga’s Jibannagar upazila early Wednesday.

With this, at least 2,371 people, including 126 Indian nationals, have been pushed into Bangladesh from India since May 7, 2025, according to police and Border Guard Bangladesh.

The five were allegedly pushed across the border about 6:00am when local people caught them while they were heading towards Jibannagar town and handed them over to police.

Four of the five were initially identified as Bangladeshi nationals, while the other claimed to be an Indian citizen.

Jibannagar police station officer-in-charge Solaiman Sheikh said the five had been taken to the police station and that their identities, nationalities and the circumstances surrounding their entry into Bangladesh were being verified.

‘We are checking their identities, nationalities and how they crossed the border. Necessary legal action will be taken after the verification,’ he said.

Asked whether any of the detainees was an Indian national, the police official said, ‘One of them speaks Hindi and claims to be an Indian citizen. The matter is being verified.’

Maheshpur Battalion 58 commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Rafiqul Alam, however, said he was not aware of the incident and was looking into the matter.

The BGB and local residents have foiled at least 75 push-in attempts since early May, following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s victory in the recent West Bengal polls, according to BGB officials.​

Two Indian nationals injured in a shooting at the Kurigram border are undergoing treatment at Rangpur Medical College Hospital under police custody.

Rangpur Metropolitan Detective Branch (DB) police detained the two from a private clinic in the town and admitted them to the Rangpur Medical College Hospital early Monday.

The injured men have been identified as Ismail Hossain, 35, son of Abdul Karim Sheikh of Bheramara village in Sukchar upazila of Singmari district, Assam, and Abdul Anis alias Khaja, 39, son of Abdul Majid Mondal.

Police filed a case against the two with Rangpur Metropolitan Kotwali police station on Monday afternoon on charges of illegal entry into Bangladesh. The case, numbered 12, was filed by DB Sub-Inspector Abu Sayeed Babla, with DB’s SI Pranoy Krishna investigating.

Rangpur Metropolitan DB Deputy Commissioner Sanatan Chakraborty told Prothom Alo on Monday evening that the two Indian nationals had entered Bangladesh through the border in Daikhawa village of Saheber Alga union in Ulipur, Kurigram, on Sunday while bringing cattle from India.

“At that time, the BSF opened fire at them with a shotgun, seriously injuring them,” he said.

Sanatan Chakraborty said someone later rescued the two men and admitted them to a private clinic in Rangpur. Acting on a tip-off, DB members located them there and subsequently admitted them to Rangpur Medical College Hospital.

Hospital Director Brigadier General Ashiqur Rahman said the two bullet-hit Indian nationals were undergoing treatment and were in critical condition. They had sustained numerous gunshot wounds to various parts of their bodies, including their hands and chests.

Ismail Hossain, speaking to journalists from his hospital bed, said the BSF had detained them inside Indian territory on Sunday, mistaking them for Bangladeshis. “Later, they brought us to the Bangladesh border, shot us and left us there,” he said. Two residents of the Airmari Char area rescued them, he added.

Repeated attempts to contact Lieutenant Colonel Mahabub-ul-Haq, commanding officer of Kurigram 22 BGB Battalion, and Assistant Director Matiur Rahman for comment were unsuccessful, as neither answered their phones.​
