Two Bangladeshi nationals have been killed by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Masudpur-Monohorpur border in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj.
The deceased are Abdul Hakim, 38, son of late Saheb Ali of Tarapur village and Sharif Uddin 25, son of Golap Hossian of Khariyal village in the upazila.
