The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh has lodged a formal protest to the Government of India on the killing of a Bangladeshi national, Md Kamal Hossain, hailing from Sadar South upazila, Cumilla district, who was shot dead by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India on Monday (October 7, 2024)
In a note sent to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh expressed deep concern, stating that despite repeated assurances from Indian authorities to reduce border killings to "zero," such incidents by the BSF continue to recur. A ministry spokesperson reiterated that this persistent issue is alarming.
Bangladesh stressed that such incidents of border killing are undesirable and unwarranted; and such actions are in violation of the provisions of the Joint Indo-Bangladesh Guidelines for Border Authorities, 1975.
The Bangladesh government has urged India to stop the recurrence of of such heinous acts, conduct enquiries into all the border killings, identify those responsible and also bring them to justice.
