BSF shoots suspected Bangladeshi near Tripura border

India Nov 24, 2025

A 25-year-old man named Akash Das was shot by the Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday at the India-Bangladesh border in North Tripura.
According to officials, Das tried to cross back into Bangladesh and didn't stop when warned by BSF personnel—he was attempting to scale the border fence when he was shot.

Who was Akash Das, and what happened after?

Das had reportedly been living in India for five years and has family in Panisagar, North Tripura.
After the incident, he got first aid nearby and was later taken to a hospital in Agartala for further treatment.
This case highlights just how challenging it can be for security forces to manage such a long border—especially since some stretches are still unfenced due to local disputes.
