The border killing fields separating India and Bangladesh
On the night of May 31, near Sadipur in Jashore’s Sharsha upazila, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel found a section of the border fence cut open. On the far side stood more than a dozen people, among them women and children, driven to the spot by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) and told to start walking. A flag meeting was convened between the two forces, but nothing was resolved.
