Our Correspondent, Satkhira
A Bangladeshi cattle trader who was tortured by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on April 18 succumbed to his injuries at Khulna-250-bed Hospital Tuesday night, police said. The victim is Abdul Hamid, 28, son of Abdul Aziz of village Haroddah in Sadar upazila. BDR and police said a group of Bangladeshi cattle traders went to India to buy cattle on April 17. On way back home with cattle-head, the traders including the victim were chased and caught by BSF men at Ghojadanga border in 24 Parganas of West Bengal, India, opposite Bhomra port in Satkhira. After beating, BSF men kept them at zero point near Bhomra the same night. Local people rescued them next morning and shifted critically injured Abdul Hamid, Jalil Sardar and Manirul Islam to Sadar hospital. As Hamid's condition deteriorated, he was shifted to Khulna hospital on April 20 where he succumbed later on. On contact, both Major Kamrul Hasan, operation officer of 41, Rifles Battalion and Sadar Police Station officer-in- charge (OC) Safiqur Rahman confirmed the incident.
