Bangladeshi miscreants assaulted an on-duty Border Security Force (BSF) jawan on Sunday at the Indo-Bangla border in Tripura’s Sepahijala district.
The incident occurred at gate no-196 under Kalamcherra border outpost in the Sonamura Sub-division.
The victim has been identified as Bhole.
According to a statement released by BSF, Bhole was on outpost duty at the India-Bangladesh Border and was tasked with operating the fence gate. At around 1.30 pm, a large group of Bangladeshi miscreants crossed over the International Border illegally and gathered near the fencing gate with the intention of smuggling sugar.
They then started hurling abusive language and instigated Bhole with provocative language and vulgar gestures. The Bangladeshi miscreants gheraoed and assaulted Bhole and even tried to drag him towards the Bangladesh side, said BSF.
Miscreants also snatched his weapon along with the radio set.
Constable Bhole managed to escape, however, he was attacked with bamboo sticks and iron rods due to which he sustained grievous injuries.
After the incident, the issue was escalated with Bangladeshi security agency and a commandant-level flag meeting was held.
During the meeting with the BSF lodged a strong protest. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) returned the snatched weapon and radio set to BSF.
