BNP demands UN probe in BGB killing along border

BNP demanded that the United Nations (UN) carry out an investigation into the killing of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) member sepoy Mohammad Roisuddin by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) along Benapole border area of Jashore.

BNP made the demand in a statement sent to the media on Saturday (January 27) morning.

BNP condemned the killing and raised questions about the “sovereignty and independence of Bangladesh”.

After the incident, BSF issued a statement, saying the victim, BGB sepoy Mohammad Roisuddin, was accompanying smugglers in plain clothes.

Terming the claim “unacceptable”, BNP said a BGB member can never be with a gang of smugglers, wearing lungi and t-shirt.

BNP termed the border between Bangladesh and India the “most violent and bloody” place in the world.
