Two Bangladeshi youths, Md Millat Hossain (21) and Md Liton (32), were killed in a firing by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) at the Parshuram border in Feni. Md Afsar (31) was injured in the same incident. The incident took place at around 12:00 midnight on Friday (July 25) in the Bashpadua border area of the upazila.

According to local sources, on Thursday (July 24) night, Millat, Liton, Afsar, and their associates crossed the 2164/3S pillar under Guthuma Border Outpost (BOP) and went to the barbed wire inside India. At that time, BSF members opened fire on them. Three of them were shot. Later, locals rescued Millat and Afsar in serious condition and took them first to Parashuram Upazila Health Complex and later to Feni General Hospital. Millat died while undergoing treatment there. On the other hand, Liton was taken to Belonia Hospital with gunshot wounds, where he died.

It has been reported that the body of Millat, among the deceased, is at Feni General Hospital. The body will be handed over to the family after the autopsy. The deceased Millat is the son of Yusuf Mia of the Bashpadua area of Parashuram Municipality. The body of Liton, the son of Gachi Mia of the same village, is at Belonia Hospital.

According to BGB Feni Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, the Bashpadua border is a smuggling-prone area. BGB members immediately visited the scene after receiving information that a Bangladeshi citizen was shot at the border by the BSF. A written protest will be lodged on behalf of the BGB in this regard. Arrangements to bring Liton's body to the country are in process.
