I forbid the boy to go. Yasin says he will come from the front of the shop. In the morning I got news from people that my son was shot dead by BSF. Those four are responsible for my son's death. We want exemplary punishment for them. My son got married just a month ago. Now I'm done. They should quickly return my son's body.

Earlier I swore to my son that he will see my dead face when he goes to the border. He did not listen. Panchagarh 18 BGB battalion captain Lt. Col. Juvayed Hasan said, "We strongly protested the border killings at the flag meeting. We have said that the friendship of two countries cannot be saved by killing people on the border.

We said that they could have been arrested and taken legal action. Besides, blank shots or foot shots could be used. But they didn't. They said they were forced to shoot in self-defense. The youth attacked them with indigenous weapons. They said that they fired in retaliation. After the legal process they will return the body.
