Members of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday recovered the body of a
Bangladeshi young man, who died from electrocution, on Boikari border in Sadar upazila
early Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Babu Mia, 35, son of Abdul Muzid Sardar of Ashashuni
upazila of the district.
BSF sources said Babu came in contact with a live electric wire while entering India
illegally through the border and died on the spot early Sunday.
Later, BSF troops of Koijuri camp of India recovered the body of Babu.
Major Mazhar, operation officer of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Battalion-38,
confirmed the incident and said the body will be brought home through a flag meeting
between BGB and BSF after a post-mortem examination.
But the victim’s family alleged that BSF troops had beat Babu to death and kept the body
hung with an electric pole while he was returning home after receiving treatment from an
Indian physician. -UNB, Satkhira
