Armed smugglers from Bangladesh snatched the weapons and radio set of a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan in Tripura before attempting to abduct him and take him to Bangladesh on Sunday afternoon, BSF said. The incident occurred at around 1:30 pm on June 2, Sunday. "On 2 June, BSF Constable Bhole was performing outpost duty at the India-Bangladesh Border and was tasked with operating the fence gate. At about 1330 hrs, a large group of Bangladeshi miscreants crossed over the International Border illegally and gathered near the fencing gate with the intention of smuggling sugar. Further, they started hurling abusive language and instigated the BSF Constable on duty with provocative language and vulgar gestures. The Bangladeshi miscreants gheraoed and assaulted Constable Bhole and attempted to drag him towards the Bangladesh side. They also snatched his weapon along with the radio set. Constable Bhole managed to escape, however, he was assaulted with bamboo sticks and iron rods due to which he sustained grievous injuries," BSF said. "A commandant-level flag meeting was held with the counterpart, and the BSF lodged a strong protest. The snatched weapon and radio set were handed back to BSF by BGB. BSF remains committed to maintaining peace and tranquillity along the India-Bangladesh Border and continues to work closely with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB)," the army unit added. West Bengal: Bangladeshi Infiltrator Killed in BSF Firing in Malda While Trying To Enter India.
