India's Border Security Force (BSF) members have reportedly tortured a Bangladeshi farmer for entering the Shingnagar border in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj.
The victim is identified as Eslam Ali, 70, of that upazila.
BGB-53 Battalion Commander Lt Col Mohammad Suruj Mia said the farmer was working in the field within 15 yards of the border zero line on Wednesday noon when the BSF members entered the border and tortured him.
Locals rushed the farmer to Shibganj Health Complex and then to Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital (RMCH) as his two hands were broken.
On information, BGB men visited the spot with the farmer's son.
“A letter has been sent to the BSF strongly protesting the matter,” said the officer.
Meanwhile, local UP member Serajul Islam brought allegations against the BSF that they often enter into Bangladeshi territory and torture the farmers in that region.
