Director General (DG) Pankaj Kumar Singh termed all the Bangladeshis killed in
firing by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on the Bangladesh-India border
as criminals. According to him, all the dead people were involved in various
crimes including drug dealing, and every shooting happened at night.
This was said by the Director General of BSF
in response to a question raised by a journalist at a joint press conference at
the end of the five-day border conference organized at the Border Guard
Bangladesh (BGB) headquarters in Pilkhana on Thursday afternoon.
On what
basis are the victims of border killings called criminals? In response to the
question, the BSF director general said, "We cannot call anyone a criminal
until any crime is proven in the judicial system. We talk to the Border Guard,
Kolkata Police, and Dhaka Metropolitan Police. We share intelligence information.
Mafias are involved in smuggling on the border of the two countries.
BSF
director general said that there are good and bad people in both the border
areas of the two countries. The criminals involved in cow smuggling, child and women
trafficking illegally entered the border.
BSF
Director General also said, "First we use non-lethal weapons. So that
prevention is not fatal. 89 BSF personnel were seriously injured in the attack
by criminals on the border." Referring to our relationship with the Border
Guard Bangladesh (BGB) now better than ever, he said, "We are jointly
working to suppress border-centric crime, bring border killings to zero."
Every
border conference, there is a discussion on stopping border killings. But the
border killings are not stopping. Five people were killed on the border last
June. In response to such a question, BSF Director General said, "We hear
this question every year. BGB and BSF are very professional forces. But our relationship
with Bangladesh is very different. Different from western countries. We
constantly discuss at different levels how to stop border killings."
