Smugglers attacked on BGB members at Jaintapur border and two were injured.

According to sources, on Saturday at approximately 10 pm, active members of the smuggling gang illegally entered Indian cattle and buffaloes through Ghilatail, Phulbari, Talal, Tiprakhla, Karimtila, Kamlabari, Goabari and Bairakhel borders of Jaintapur upazila.

Meanwhile, news of Indian cattle entering was informed and 19 BGB Jaintapur (Rajbari) BOP members conducted a patrol at the Tiprakhla border between 1287-88 Main Pillar.

Meanwhile, the smugglers got to know about the BGB's position before the cattle entered the border and attacked the BGB while trying to save the cattle. Two BGB members were seriously injured in the attack. The injured BGB members are Md. Harunur Rashid (35) and Md. Jamshed Hossain (29).

The smugglers fought with the BGB members and threw bricks and stones and fled with the remaining cattle, leaving one cow behind. With the help of locals, the two injured members of the BGB patrol team were rescued and taken to the emergency department of Jaintapur Upazila Health Complex in serious condition. After providing primary treatment, the doctor on duty quickly referred them to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital.

When contacted on the official mobile number of the camp commander in charge of Jaintapur BOP, the camp commander, who did not want to be named, admitted the incident and said that two BGB members of the patrol team were injured in the attack by smugglers and are undergoing treatment. A senior officer has come after receiving the information and will know the details later.

Jaintapur Model Police Station OC Abul Bashar Mohammad Badruzzaman said, "I am not aware of the matter, but no complaint has been received by us yet regarding the attack. If we receive a complaint, necessary action will be taken after investigating it."
