News Desk: Two suspected smugglers were killed near the India-Bangladesh border in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, after the BSF challenged them from intruding into Indian territory. Around 3am on Friday morning, the BSF spotted the men trying to smuggle cattle across the border by hauling them over the barbed wire fence using improvised bamboo cantilevers.
The BSF domination party warned them to stop, but the Bangladeshi miscreants attacked back with sticks and hand-held weapons like sickle. One BSF personnel was injured in the attack. He has been shifted to hospital for treatment.
The BSF then fired in the air in self-defence. Later on, two bodies of smugglers were recovered from close to the International Border.
The incident took place at Sitai in Cooch Behar district.
