Two alleged Bangladeshi cattle smugglers were shot dead by the BSF in Kaimari in Coochbehar in West Bengal on Wednesday after they adopted an "aggressive posture" in their attempt to "smuggle cattle heads", despite repeated verbal warnings, according to an official release from BSF.
As per the statement the smugglers resorted to abusing and heavy stone-pelting on the BSF troops.
"On 9th Nov 2022 alert, BSF troops deployed on the Indo-Bangladesh international border observed suspicious movement of 15-20 miscreants on Bangladesh side of the border fencing, who had illegally and willfully violated the sanctity of IB and were trying to smuggle cattle heads by erecting cantilever (Jhula) with the help of their Indian associates," the BSF statement said.
"Alert BSF Jawans challenged them to stop their unwarranted activities and return to Bangladesh territory. However Bangladeshi miscreants did not pay any heed to repeated verbal warnings," it added.
