said Millat had suffered two bullet wounds, while Afsar was hit by one bullet.

Yasin, who was also shot, fell into a bush and remained undiscovered initially.

He was later detained by the BSF and taken to Bilonia Hospital in India, where he died.

The critically injured Afsar was transferred to Chattogram Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.

Lt Col Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, commanding officer of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Battalion-4 in Feni, told The Daily Star, “In the morning, we were informed that one person had been killed and another injured by BSF gunfire.

“Around noon, one of our sources reported that another individual had also been killed and taken away by the BSF. When we contacted the BSF, they acknowledged the incident and confirmed that the body was at an Indian hospital.”

He added, “We strongly protested the incident and called for a flag meeting.”

A meeting was later held with the BSF in the afternoon. The BGB demanded the immediate return of the deceased’s body at that time.

The BSF said the body would be handed over after completing some formalities.

As a result, another flag meeting was scheduled for today, said the commanding officer.
