Thakurgaon: The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has returned the body of Joyonto Kumar Singha, a Bangladeshi schoolboy who was fatally shot along the Baliadangi border in Thakurgaon.
The body was handed over to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) early Wednesday.
BSF returned Joyonto’s body to BGB officials around 1:30 am. Lt Col Tanjir Ahmed, Commandant of 50 BGB Battalion, confirmed the matter.
The victim’s family performed cremation rites later that night at the Bhandardaha Bamonsova cremation ground.
Joyonto, a class seven student of a local school, was shot and killed by BSF personnel on Monday when he, along with his father and a group of others, attempted to cross into India through the Dhantola bor-der near the 393rd pillar.
During the incident, Joyonto’s father Mahadeb and two others were injured, while the boy died on the spot.
The two injured individuals are currently being treated at a clinic in Rangpur.
