The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has shot dead a Bangladeshi along the Chapainawabganj border.
Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) said the incident took place at Johurpur frontier area under the sadar upazila in the early hours of Wednesday.
Benazir Ahmed, 25, a resident of Gaipara village, is the fifth Bangladeshi shot dead by the BSF so far this year.
