A Bangladeshi citizen was shot dead by BSF in Tripura’s Sepahijala district after a group of smugglers from both sides of the international boundary attacked the border guards, the force said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Border Security Guard (BSF) said one of its employees was also injured in the attack by the smugglers.<\/p>\n
A group of 20 to 25 Bangladeshi miscreants entered the Indian territory at Putia under Kalamchoura police station and met several Indian associates late on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
As the BSF challenged them, the smugglers attacked the border guards injuring one of them, the force said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“When smugglers attacked the BSF personnel again and tried to snatch their weapons, a jawan opened one round of fire from a pump action gun for self-defence. One smuggler was injured and taken to Bishalgarh hospital,” BSF said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The injured Bangladeshi smuggler succumbed to his injuries later. His body is now kept at the morgue of the hospital.<\/p>\n
The jawan who suffered injuries in the attack is also undergoing treatment in the same hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
