Satkhira, Nov 26 (bdnews24.com) A delegation of Indian border guards on Friday heard a Bangladeshi woman who described her ordeal of being raped and then seeing her husband get killed at the hands of their colleagues who detained them on the other of the border.
Some members of India's Border Security Force (BSF) raped the woman, of Balabari village, Ashashuni Upazila, and then killed her husband Rabindranath Mandal when he tried to save his wife, she told the hearing.
The woman said that a patrol team from BSF's Ghojadanga camp detained them when they were on their way from India to Bangladesh on April 22 last year. Rabindranath had gone to India illegally for treatment in 2008, she said.
The hearing took place during a BDR-BSF flag meeting at Bhomra border in Satkhira.
The following morning, the woman said, the BSF jawans left her and her husband's body at the Zero Line at Lakkhidari.
They were later rescued by Bangladesh police and border officials. The victim accused some unidentified BSF personnel when she filed a case with Satkhira Sadar police.
Bhomra company commander Subeder Munsur Helal headed the five-member BDR team while the BSF delegation was led by Ghojadanga camp commander A C Sanjay Kumer.
