Bangladesh protests to India, demands bring responsible to justice 

 
DHAKA, Sept 10, 2024 (BSS) - Bangladesh foreign ministry today registered a 
protest to Indian government and demanded to bring responsible to justice on 
the killing of a 16-year-old Bangladeshi boy by Border Security Force (BSF) 
of India. 

On September 9, the boy named Shri Jayanta Jambu of Baliadangi upazila of 
Thakurgaon district was shot and killed by BSF. 

In the protest note sent to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka today, 
Bangladesh expressed grave concern that despite repeated commitments from the 
Indian authorities to pursue non-lethal strategy and stop killings, such 
incidents of killing have been continuing. 

"The Government of Bangladesh called upon the Government of India to prevent 
the recurrence of such ruthless acts, investigate all border-related 
killings, identify those responsible and bring them to justice," a foreign 
ministry's press release said here. 

While the Bangladesh government denounced these ruthless acts, maintains that 
any national of either country entering each other's territory without valid 
documents may be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the respective 
country and under no circumstances should they be subjected to torture and 
death, it added.
