Agartala, 19th July 2024: Two Bangladeshi smugglers were sustained bullet injures after BSF troops foiled a major smuggling attempt of contraband items in Boxanagar under Sepahijala District.
According to BSF, on 18th July at about 02.45 AM in Boxanagar area BSF troops foiled a major smuggling attempt of contraband items by Bangladeshi smugglers.
“BSF troops fired non lethal weapon in self defense when BD smugglers didn’t pay heed to warning of BSF, tried to encircle and attack the troops on duty and further attempted to smuggle the goods forcefully. On being fired BD smugglers fled away from the place leaving behind huge quantities of sugar. It is reliably learnt that two Bangladeshi smugglers got pellet injuries and are undergoing treatment in a hospital in Bangladesh”, said BSF.
