How is he a smuggler ? The report says he's a cattle trader. BSF should have used non lethal force. I'm totally against this sort of killing , this is no good news .
@topic. India needs to complete that fence fast. Once it's built , people wont be able to cross and get killed.

Are you being naive or just plain stupid, even smugglers are also involve in trade which is illegal in the eyes of govt.

cattle trader

No trader, be he a cattle trader or a detergent trader can be killed if he is trading in a legitimate manner between the two countries.

A legitimate trader has to go through the Border Checkpost and the Customs.

It is obvious that if one goes through the Border Checkpost and the Customs of either side of the border and which are co-located, there can be no question of the person being killed.

There is Indo Pak trade through Wagah and Sino Indian trade through Nathu La. How is it that there are no case of shooting there?

Because the traders are actual traders who go through the Border Checkpost and Customs and are not smugglers, who want to make an illegal entry and exit in a most suspicious manner.
