'BGB men forced to open fire in self-defence’

Thakurgaon Correspondent:  Commanding officer of BGB Thakurgaon 50 Battalion Lt Col Tuhin Mohammad Masud has said “The BGB men were forced to open fire in self-defence”.

The commanding officer came up with the claim at a press conference on Tuesday night.

He also claimed that cattle smugglers, armed with sharp weapons, attacked the BGB troopers at Bahrampur while they were returning after seizing several smuggled cows, forcing them to open fire in self-defence.

The Tuesday’s clash between villagers and members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) left three people killed and 16 injured.

The incident took place at Bahrampur village under Haripur upazila of Thakurgaon district.

According to locals, Mahabub Ali at Bahrampur village bought a cow six months ago. BGB members went to his house to bring it as Indian cow. At that time, BGB members locked into a clash with his family members and locals.  Later, three people were killed in BGB firing.
