BDR foils push-in bid
Our Correspondent, Satkhira
Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) foiled an attempt by the Border Security Force (BSF) to 'push-in' 36 Bangla speaking people from India to Bangladesh on Chanduria border in Kalaroa upazila Sunday.BDR sources said the BSF's Gobra Company had gathered the people together to push them into Bangladesh. After the attempt failed, the BSF proposed a talk between the two sides that was held near pillar No. 15 at zero point. The BSF during the talks alleged that 36 Bangladeshi nationals from Bagerhat crossed the border and were arrested by Indian police a few months back. They also asked the BDR to take them in. The BDR, however, questioned the BSF version, saying had they been Bangladeshis, the Indian border guards should have legally handed them over through immigration check post. BDR Captain Kazi Zahir confirmed the incident and said they have beefed up security on the border to resist any further push-in attempt.
