The statement further stated that by adopting an aggressive posture, the smugglers abused the BSF personnel and resorted to stone pelting in which a jawan of the force sustained serious head injuries. He was evacuated to a BSF hospital for treatment.The BSF said despite the attack, the troops exercised utmost restraint and used non-lethal measures to disperse the smugglers. Following a search later, the personnel recovered 50 bottles of contraband items.“In light of the vulnerability of the border and the increasing activities of trans-border criminals and anti-national elements, BSF troops remain ever vigilant to curb trans-border crimes. They continue to make every effort to ensure that the Indo-Bangladesh international border remains crime-free,” the statement said.
