Don’t show your backs on border: Home adviser to BGB
Staff Correspondent
Showing an oblique reference to the cruel death of Felani Khatun by Border Security Force (BSF), Home Adviser Lt Gen (retd) M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has ordered the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members not to show their backs on the bordering areas.
“We don’t want to see the recurrence of such a heinous death like Felani Khatun. Discharge your duties upholding your professionalism without showing your backs on the borders,” he categorically said on Saturday.
Felani Khatun was a 10-year-old Bangladeshi girl who was shot and killed by Indian BSF on 7 January 2011, along the Bangladesh–India border but justice is still elusive.
Meanwhile, Swarna Das, a 16-year-old school girl, met the same fate as BSF killed her on the Bangladesh-India border in Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar last Sunday night.
