Dinajpur, Sept 25: The Border Security Force (BSF) has lodged a strong protest with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) following an incident in which a BSF jawan was abducted by a group of Bangladeshi miscreants during a routine patrol near the Biral border in Dinajpur, India. Reports indicate that 15 to 20 individuals crossed into Indian territory, forcibly taking the jawan across the border into Bangladesh, where he was subsequently held by the BGB.

In a swift response, BSF officials engaged in discussions with their BGB counterparts. Following negotiations, the abducted jawan was returned safely to Indian authorities. The BSF expressed its appreciation for the BGB’s cooperation in resolving the incident.

In a statement, the BSF condemned the act of aggression, highlighting the necessity of maintaining peaceful relations along the border. The force urged the BGB to instruct its citizens to avoid such unlawful activities, reaffirming its commitment to a policy of zero firing along the border.

The BSF emphasized the importance of collaboration with the BGB to ensure the safety and security of all individuals in the border region, and reiterated its dedication to peaceful coexistence between the two nations.
