The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today protested to the Government of India on the killing of a Bangladeshi national, Md. Kamal Hossain hailing from Sadar South upazila, Cumilla district, who was shot and killed by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India on 07 October 2024.
In the Note sent to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, today, Bangladesh expresses serious concern that despite repeated commitments from the concerned authorities of India to bring down border killings to ‘zero level’, such incidents by the BSF continue to recur.
The Government of Bangladesh stressed that such incidents of border killing are undesirable and unwarranted; and such actions violate the provisions of the Joint Indo-Bangladesh Guidelines for Border Authorities, 1975.
The Government of Bangladesh calls upon the Government of India to stop the recurrence of such heinous acts and conduct enquiries into all the border killings, as also identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
