Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Friday foiled an alleged attempt by India's Border Security Force (BSF) to push seven individuals into Bangladesh through the Charaldanga border in Gomostapur upazila of Chapainawabganj. GeographicReference Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Ariful Islam Masum, commanding officer of Naogaon Battalion (16 BGB), said members of the 12 BSF Battalion's Tilashan Camp allegedly tried to push the seven men into Bangladesh around 6:30am through the border near pillar 219/24-R/2. He said a BGB patrol team detected the attempt and prevented the men from entering Bangladesh. They are currently staying on the Indian side of the zero line along the border, Masum said, adding that the paramilitary force is closely monitoring the situation to prevent any further push-in attempts.
