BSF Shoots Two Alleged Smugglers on Tripura Border

Agartala, December 6, 2025 – Two youths sustained injuries Saturday morning after being shot by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the India-Bangladesh border in the Boxanagar area of Tripura’s Sepahijala district.

According to local police sources, the incident occurred at Putia near the border as the individuals, identified as Saddam Hossain and Sonu Miah, were allegedly attempting to smuggle contraband into India. BSF personnel opened fire after the pair reportedly failed to heed repeated warnings.

“The injured were first rushed to Bishalgarh Hospital,” a police spokesperson stated. “Due to the severity of their injuries, they were later transferred to GBP Hospital in Agartala, where they are currently receiving treatment.” Some unconfirmed reports are indicating that the injured are minors.

The BSF has yet to issue an official statement regarding the shooting. However, police sources suggest that heightened border vigilance in response to the ongoing situation in Bangladesh contributed to the incident.

This incident marks the latest in a string of similar occurrences along the Tripura border in recent weeks. The BSF has previously attributed such shootings to self-defense or as a last resort.

Tripura shares a lengthy border with Bangladesh on three sides, making it a known hotspot for cross-border smuggling operations.
