BGB foils BSF attempt to push in four people along Kushtia border

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has foiled an attempt by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) to push four individuals, including two men and two women, into Bangladesh along the Kushtia border.

The incident occurred around 7:45am on Sunday in the area under Thotarpara Border Outpost (BOP) of Kushtia Battalion (47 BGB), according to a press release.

The BSF’s Uday Kishan camp under its 146 Battalion attempted to push the four into Bangladesh through border pillar No. 153/9-S, the release said.

However, the attempt was thwarted due to BGB’s alertness, immediate preventive measures and effective response.

Facing BGB’s firm position, the BSF was forced to take the four people back into Indian territory around 8am, the release added.

Kushtia Battalion Commander Lt Col Rashed Kamal Roni said BGB remains vigilant and prepared to prevent any illegal infiltration.
