BSF picks up Bangladeshi youth near Darshana-Gede check post

India's Border Security Force (BSF) detained a Bangladeshi
youth from the Darshana border area in Chuadanga yesterday (13 June), officials
said.
The detainee was identified as
Zulfiqar Ali, 22, son of Kalu Maulvi of Joynagar village in Darshana. He works
at a biscuit factory in Ramnagar under Darshana municipality.
The incident took place near Border
Pillar No 76, adjacent to the Darshana-Gede international check post.
Locals said Zulfiqar had gone to the border area with a group of friends when
BSF personnel from the Gede camp chased them and detained him. The others managed
to flee the scene.
Locals alleged that the BSF beat
Zulfiqar and took him into Indian territory.
However, Commander of the 6 BGB
Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Nazmul Hasan said preliminary information
indicated that a group of youths from Joynagar village had attempted to open
parts of the security fencing along the Darshana-Gede railway line in the Zero
Point area.
"At that time, BSF members
conducted a drive and detained Zulfiqar Ali, while the others managed to
escape," he said.
The BGB official said they learned the detainee might be handed over to the
Indian police.
"Communication is being
maintained with the BSF regarding the matter," he added.
