A Bangladeshi youth has gone missing after he reportedly jumped into a water-filled ditch at Jaintapur border after being chased by Indian border guards (BSF) on Wednesday.
Jaintapur UP chairman identified the missing man as Sohel Mia, 28, son of Shafiq Mia from Adarsh Gram village in Jaintapur Union.
On Wednesday, Sohel crossed into the Indian border looking for their cow that went missing a day before, said chairman EKhlasur Rahman.
As Sohel was getting back to Bangladesh’s side of the border around 7pm, some Indian Border Security Force members started chasing him. To escape them he jumped into a water body near India’s Ranghangkang area, he said.
“The BSF members also threw stones at him”, Ekhlasur said quoting local sources. Sohel does not know how to swim, he said.
