A Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel allegedly ended his life by shooting himself with his service weapon at a camp in Sapahar border in Naogaon early on Thursday.
Tanvir, 26, hailed from Narail district and was posted at the BGB camp in Sundarail.
A severely injured Tanvir was rushed to Sapahar Upazila Health Complex around 7am by other BGB members at the camp.
However, he succumbed to his injuries on the way to another hospital from the health complex where he received primary care, said Tarekur Rahman Sarkar, officer-in-charge (OC) of Sapahar police station.
In fact, he was declared dead on arrival by doctors at the same health complex only, said Dr Ruhul Amin, upazila health and family planning officer.
OC Tarekur said an unnatural death case was filed in this regard. The body was sent to the Naogaon Sadar hospital morgue for an autopsy under the supervision of BGB.
Meanwhile, Naogaon BGB-16 Commander Lt Colonel Asaduzzaman said that Tanvir probably took the extreme step over some family issues. "A probe is on," he added.
