Abu Sayeed, 25 of Pashchim Kota village of Sharsh upazila in Jessore, was killed on the spot and his younger brother Hafizur Rahman, 20, received bullet wounds.

Locals said four cattle traders went to Hatatgonj cattle market in India on Wednesday. While they were returning home, BSF of Sunarajpur Border Outpost (BOP) opened fire on them near Gunarajpur village in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India.

The BSF dragged Sayeed's body away while the injured brother managed to escape. When contacted, Bangladesh Rifles Lt Col Asadur Rahman, commanding officer (CO) of 41 battalion, confirmed the incident and said a letter was sent to BSF authorities for holding a flag meeting and the return of the body.
