National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India has recommended the government to pay a compensation of 5 lakh Indian rupees to the family of Bangladeshi victim Felani.
Kurigram Public Prosecutor advocate Abraham Lincoln confirmed this to the Dhaka Tribune.
Abraham said India’s NHRC on Monday has recommended the central government of the country to pay 5 lakh Indian rupees to the family of Felani, a Bangladeshi girl who was shot dead by Indian Border Security Force (BSF).
Felani, a 15-year-old girl, was shot dead while returning home in Bangladesh along with her father and maternal uncle on January 7, 2011.
She used to work as a housemaid in New Delhi.

Though Felani’s father and uncle had crossed the barbed-wire fence using a ladder, the teenager was shot when her clothes got entangled in the wire.
Her body was left dangling on the barbed wire fence for nearly five hours.
It is alleged that she had been alive for at least four hours after being shot.
