BSF stabs 1, abducts 2 in Benapole

Indian Border Security Force (BSF) stabbed a Bangladeshi cattle trader and abducted two others from Putkhali frontier of Benapole early Saturday.


The injured was identified as Habib, son of Abul Morol of Putkhali village while the identities of the abductees could not be known immediately, reports our Benapole correspondent.


BSF troops of Angrail camp caught the three while they were crossing the border with cattle and stabbed Habib indiscriminately, a BDR official told The Daily Star seeking anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to media.


They left the place along with the two other cattle traders, leaving Habib on the spot, suspecting him dead, the official added.


Injured Habib however managed to reach his village home and local people admitted him to Jessore 200-bed Hospital.

Never heard any law enforcing agencies ever used stabbing a way of guarding the border. But hey its India and its BSF. Anything possible.

 

[LaBong]

Any other source except 'anonymous' BDR officer? Seems like a gang fight to me, when did BSF start using knives as their weapon of choice? :s

... and what were these 3 Gents doing crossing the border with cattle ?

Was it legit ? If not then they got what they deserved - the Danda.

Civility to cattle thieves & rustlers ?

Is the objection that they were stabbed ? Did they expect to be tickled to death ?

Are will still discussing an anonymous BDR officials report..?

For God sakes the smuggler can be stabbed by any of his co-smugglers or even by the BDR for not paying his share of bribe.

And what better way to deflect the blame than to blame the BSF.?

First name the BDR officer and then we can talk.

Indian ministers dont cross the border with there cattles??? Indian Ministers are very well settled In India.... But crossing the Line of control without proper papers is a great security threat.... U need to blame those 3 men who tried to cross the border... It was the duty of the BSF to Do the necessary

My my my what I found here.. BSF does that to Indian too inside indian territory...

a. Violations of the right to life
The Border Security Force personnel operating along the India-Bangladesh international border in West Bengal perpetrated serious human rights violations including extrajudicial killings of innocent villagers in the border areas.

On 28 June 2006, a 14-year-old boy identified as Mithun Sarkar, son of Nripendra Nath Sarkar, was allegedly killed by the BSF personnel of Outpost No. 2 of 136 Battalion under Kuthibari Camp at Harudanga village under Raninagar police station in Murshidabad district. The victim was held by the BSF personnel during an anti-cattle smuggling operation in the village. During interrogation, the victim was allegedly tortured and later shot dead on the charges that he was part of the cattle smugglers. On the other hand, the Officer-in-Charge of Raninagar police station, S. Bhattacharjee allegedly refused to lodge a First Investigation Report when approached by the victim's father, Nripendra Nath Sarkar.[12]

The other victims included Jabiur Hossain who was shot dead by a BSF personnel identified as Bishnu Jha at Muslimpur village under Englishbazar police station in Malda district on 20 July 2006,[13] and a 17-year-old boy identified as Musaruddin Molla, son of Enamul Molla, who was allegedly tortured and then shot dead by the BSF personnel near Taltala outpost – 1 under Jalangi police station in Murshidabad district on 22 May 2006.[14]

There were also reports of custodial deaths. On 26 March 2006, Robin Tudu, a schoolteacher, died in the district hospital in North Dinajpur district. He was arrested on 22 February 2006. While an inquiry was ordered into the circumstances of Tudu's death, his wife alleged that he was tortured to death in the lock-up.[15]

b. Arbitrary arrest, illegal detention and torture
Arbitrary arrest, illegal detention and torture were also reported. On the morning of 20 May 2006, BSF personnel allegedly picked up a 10-year-old boy identified as Nazimul Sheikh, son of Nasif Sheikh, a farmer, while he was returning from school and beat him up at their camp at Chapra in Nadia district. The villagers found the boy in an unconscious state in a bush off a road 150 km from Calcutta on the evening of 20 May 2006. The boy, who was a student of Class V, had to be admitted to Chapra block hospital and later shifted to Shaktinagar Hospital after his condition deteriorated. Although Nazimul Sheikh was carrying schoolbooks, the BSF officials claimed that the boy was picked up mistaking him to be son of a cattle smuggler, who was part of a gang of smugglers from whom the BSF personnel had seized a number of cattle. The doctors at Shaktinagar hospital reportedly stated that Nazimul Sheikh suffered both internal and external injuries and his condition was critical.[16]

Many were killed in use of fire-arms. On 12 April 2006, a woman identified as Tulsi Das, daughter of Mr. Sukdeb Das, was reportedly killed on the spot and another seriously injured when Sub-Inspector Kali Prasad Banerjee of Salar police station fired from his service pistol at a mob without warning at Daspara under Salar police station in Murshidabad district.[17]

Why did they try to cross the border Illegally ??? If You can justify Your peoples action so can we for Ours....

Well if the objection is stabbing , we shall request the BSF not to stab in future.

They will keep their bayonets in the scabbard and tell dirty jokes to the intruders and cattle thieves till they say " Please no more , I give up" or drop dead laughing - whichever is earlier.

We come from a region (S Asia) where the crowd lynches thieves or those they consider outside their loose social rules when caught in the act ( we just saw an example in Sialkot recently ) , what rights does a man caught red handed have in our part of the world ??

Awwwww......dont stab the cross border smugglers..just shoot them...But then,the result is the same anyways...

Not very aptly put, was it? Surely you're not advocating the Sialkot incident to replicate in India.

Still, until there is an official report from BDR, I won't believe this. Seemed to me gang-fight of smugglers.

so in India, Indian security forces live by Street gangsters' tactics.

Stabbing to counter illegal crossing is not professional.


Are these BSF men street gangsters or a professional force?

Do they have any formal training/military education or they pathetic even than the local Indian and Pakistani police?

I guess the later is the case
