Our Correspondent, Dinajpur
Border Security Force (BSF) of India yesterday picked up a Bangladeshi national from Birampur border, BGB sources said. The man was identified as Soibur Rahman, 27, alias Sabur, son of late Md. Kayes Uddin Mondal of Chapra village under Birampur upazila in the district. BGB sources, quoting family members, said that the youth was a cattle trader. At about 3:00am yesterday BSF at Ghumsi camp opposite to Chapra village of Birampur caught Sabur as he approached a border pillar. BSF tortured him soon after picking him up, alleged the family members. BSF and BGB later held a flag meeting in the afternoon. The BSF informed BGB that they handed over the youth to Hili police in Dakkhin Dinajpur. However, BGB of Phulbari Battalion strongly protested the incident.
