New Delhi, 12 November 2021

As per news report of The Indian Express, The district police claimed that three persons had died in the incident, including an Indian. A personnel of the border force was also injured and has been evacuated to a nearby hospital. The incident has triggered a political slugfest in the border district with the ruling TMC blaming the enhancement of BSF’s jurisdiction from 15 to 50 kms as a reason behind the incident. “The incident happened early this morning at around 2 am when a group of 60 miscreants assembled on both sides of the border to smuggle cattle. The miscreants tried to smuggle cattle by throwing improvised bamboo cantilevers on the barbed wires. When a BSF patrol party tried to stop them, they started pelting stones at the party and attacked them with iron rods and sticks,” BSF Additional Director General Y B Khurania said.
