Bangladesh foreign ministry today registered a
protest to Indian government and demanded to bring responsible to justice on
the killing of a 16-year-old Bangladeshi boy by Border Security Force (BSF)
of India.
On September 9, the boy named Shri Jayanta Jambu of Baliadangi upazila of
Thakurgaon district was shot and killed by BSF.
In the protest note sent to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka today,
Bangladesh expressed grave concern that despite repeated commitments from the
Indian authorities to pursue non-lethal strategy and stop killings, such
incidents of killing have been continuing.
“The Government of Bangladesh called upon the Government of India to prevent
the recurrence of such ruthless acts, investigate all border-related
killings, identify those responsible and bring them to justice,” a foreign
ministry’s press release said here.
While the Bangladesh government denounced these ruthless acts, maintains that
any national of either country entering each other’s territory without valid
d
ocuments may be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the respective
country and under no circumstances should they be subjected to torture and
death, it added.
