One Bangladeshi and two Indian cattle traders were killed and two other Bangladeshis injured when Indian Border Security Force (BSF) sprayed bullets on them on Burimari frontier at Muglabari village in Patgram upazila early Friday, reports UNB.

The deceased Bangladeshi cattle trader was identified as M Ainul Huq, 32, son of Kandura Mia of the village while two Indian citizens are Sri Amal Chandra, 22, and Khokon Mohanta, 19, of Chengrabandha thana in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal.

The injured Bangladeshi cattle traders - Mofazzal, 23, son of Hanifar Rahman, and Dulu Mia, 35, son of Aminul of the village - were admitted to Sadar hospital in critical condition.

BDR said BSF troops of Chengrabandha camp fired 30 rounds of bullet on the cattle traders when they entered into an area near the main pillar no. 841 of the frontier from India at about 1:00am with cattle, killing Ainul, Amal and Khokon on the spot.

BSF later took away the bodies of the two Indian citizens. The body of Ainul was sent to Sadar hospital morgue for autopsy. BDR in a letter to their Indian counterpart strongly protested the killing incident.
