The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh on Tuesday registered a protest to the Government of India on the killing of a 16-year-old Bangladeshi boy named Shri Jayanta Jambu of Baliadangi upazila of Thakurgaon district, who was shot and killed by Border Security Force (BSF) of India on 9 September.
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.
While the Government of Bangladesh denounces 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.
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.
