Bangladesh Foreign Ministry on Tuesday registered a protest to Indian government and demanded to bring responsible to justice on the killing of a 16-year-old Bangladeshi boy by Border Security Force (BSF) of India.
On September 9, the boy named Shri Jayanta Jambu of Baliadangi upazila of Thakurgaon was shot and killed by BSF.
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.
"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," a foreign ministry's press release said.
While the Bangladesh government denounced these ruthless acts, it 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, it added.
