Prime accused involved in attack on BSF personnel at Bishalgarh Bazar arrested
The Sepahijala district police arrested the main accused in connection with an incident where two Border Security Force (BSF) personnel sustained minor injuries after being attacked allegedly by cattle smugglers at Bishalgarh Bazar (market).
Sources said that a specific case was lodged at Bishalgarh police station under sections 221, 132, 121, 324, 109 and 3(5) of BNS on Friday after the incident and Saturday midnight, police managed to arrest the main accused, identified as Mithun Kabir.
Sources said that the incident occurred on Friday when BSF personnel accidentally came across cattle smugglers while taking route to different locations from Bishalgarh. BSF coincidentally came with the smugglers and as they were not engaged in an operation to nab smugglers, the BSF didn’t have sufficient forces to intercept them.
The smugglers attacked the BSF personnel, out of fear of recovering their livestock and arrest and the cow smugglers with their vehicle escaped towards Bishalgarh Market and BSF also chased them.
When BSF entered into the market, smugglers along with their associates attacked BSF jawans and they also damaged a BSF vehicle. The BSF personnel received minor injuries. Later, police rushed to the spot and BSF personnel were shifted to a local hospital where they were provided primary treatment and released.
Earlier this January, a team of on-duty BSF personnel was attacked by a group of Bangladeshi smugglers near India-Bangladesh international border under Magroli in Tripura’s Unakoti district; however, no one was injured from any side in the incident.
