Smugglers getting shot. Why risk your life smuggling goods? Get a job, find something like stitching clothes. It's not rocket science, it's helluva lot better than making quick buck off smuggling and then die like this become a sorrow to your mother.

BD forces should give these Gangis a befitting reply.

Why are we not arming the BD border forces? We can provide 40M in AID via weapons and provide secure financing for more as well. Even if its not major weapon systems we can give them night vision devices, drones, AZ light tanks, armored vehicles and machine guns, creating a lot of goodwill.

Similar to how we armed the Sri Lankan forces against the Tamil tigers.

Aare bhai... How many ppl you want to arm.. you want to arm Kashmiris, you want to arm north east insurgents............. Now BD army... Do you have some Allauddin lamp for manufacturing arms??? If you have any, then use to get some civilian machine for betterment of common Pakistani which makes their life easier and better... Once you complete it in Pakistan then you can share it with common man in India. You can kill you enemy India by becoming friend.

BSF lodges strong protest with BGB after attack on patrol; two Bangladeshi 'smugglers' killed .

NEW DELHI: The BSF has lodged a "strong protest" with its Bangladesh counterpart BGB after smugglers from that country attacked an Indian patrol, which fired in self-defence leading to the death of two miscreants along the border, officials said Monday.

The incident took place in the early hours (around 3:35 AM) of Sunday near the Changrabandha border post in the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal.

"The troops were encircled by 18-20 Bangladeshi smugglers while patrolling the border. The troops asked them to leave the area. However, they didn't pay heed and attacked the troops resulting in grievous injuries to the Border Security Force party. Sensing imminent threat to life and left with no other option, the troops fired in self-defence," the north bengal frontier of the force said in a statement.

It guards over 932 kms of the total 4,096 kms of the India-Bangladesh International border on the country's eastern flank and is headquartered at Kadamtala, Siliguri.

The statement said a search of the incident spot resulted in the recovery bodies of two "Bangladeshi smugglers" about 100 meters "inside" the Indian territory.

"The BGB was informed and a strong protest was lodged regarding the incident," it said.

The Border Guard Bangladesh is BSF's counterpart along this frontier.

Ha ha ha

Typical BSF response, they fired in 'self defense'.

Well our smuggler according to Indian are no worse than Taliban when it comes to Himmat.

Attacking BSF with no arms and with bare hands? Wow....

 

[Arulmozhi Varman]

Quite ironic. Just last week or the one before, BSF saved BGB personnels from smugglers who had cornered them. That's the level of smugglers btw the nation's.

The people know the risks of smuggling. Cows can be imported legally.

There would be more deaths if the Bangos think they could cross international border freely as they wish.

I have a good idea.
If the Pakistan government acquiesces in the Pakistanis smuggling of oil from Iran, and India government acquiesces in the smuggling of oil to India. It's good for everyone. The Iranians exported oil and received foreign exchange, and the Pakistanis made money, and Indians got cheap oil.
Because it's all smuggling, the USA can't sanction anyone.

Extremely shameful statement,if their were 18-20 smugglers more should have been shot dead not just 2.

BSF needs to be tighten up.

Smuggling should not be a capital crime. Indians should not shoot easily. Can't human life be compared with a few cows?
There are more than 100k Indians in Shenzhen, more than 90k Indians in Guangzhou and more than 40k Indians in Hong Kong. Among them, less than 50% of Indians have legal documents.
According to the Indian practice, should the Chinese also shoot?
