Witnesses and people in the border area said around 5.30pm, a group of at least 25 members of the BSF Changrabandha camp in India attempted to push a mentally unbalanced man into Bangladesh by passing the immigration checkpoint in Burimari-Changrabandha Zeropoint.

After a time, a group of about 60-70 people from the Changrabandha camp with weapons again tried to enter the territory of Bangladesh with the person mentally unbalanced, but the BGB and the border people again prevented them. Later, the country’s border guards returned to Indian territory after firing at least eight shotgun rounds.
Meanwhile, five Bangladeshis, including Khokon Mia, a BGB member from Burimari camp, were injured in a BSF shotgun. The other wounded are Firoza Begum from the Burimari area, Azizul Islam, Maryland. Aref Hossain and Md. Rashidul Islam.
