BGB, Indian smugglers clash in Satkhira

Indian smugglers attacked members of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) at the Daluigacha border in Kalaroa upazila of Satkhira around 2am on Sunday.
BGB members fired five rounds of blank bullets to fend off the attackers.
Following the gunfire, the smugglers abandoned their shipment of drugs and fled into the dense forest on the Indian side of the border.
The BGB recovered 252 bottles of Indian Phensedyl, 51 bottles of liquor, and two sharp local weapons from the scene.
Ashraful Haque, captain of the Satkhira BGB-33 Battalion, said that a group of smugglers from India had crossed the Daluigacha border into Bangladesh.
