On Monday, BGB sepoy Raees Uddin was killed by BSF firing near Dhanyakhola border. He was the son of Kamruzzaman of Tarapur village of Sahapara area of Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj.
On Monday around 5:30 am, the BGB patrol team saw a group of cow smugglers coming from India crossing the border in the area adjacent to Jelepara post of Dhanyakhola BOP of BGB Jessore Battalion and 'challenged' them. The smugglers then tried to run away towards India.
At that time, Sepoy Mohammad Raees Uddin, a member of the BGB patrol team, got separated from his team due to thick fog while chasing the smugglers. Initially, he could not be found, but later it was learned through various media that he was injured in BSF firing and was undergoing treatment in a hospital in India. Immediately after this incident, a flag meeting was held at the battalion commander level of both countries. Later it was learned that the soldier died while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
