The gang took him to their territory and killed him there. Later, they dumped the body in a crop field about half a kilometre inside their territory.

Local BDR authorities confirmed the incident. They sent a protest letter to their counterpart for a flag meeting in this regard.

In response the Indian BSF agreed that they would sit at a company commander-level flag meeting today, BDR sources said.
