Border killings: Dhaka calls them murder, New Delhi cites self-defence


Dhaka, July 13 (IANS) Trespassers being killed by India's Border Security Force (BSF) is the latest bone of contention at the ongoing talks between the top brass of the two neighbours' border guards.

Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) says the BSF personnel shot dead 55 'unarmed persons' this year, calling them 'murders'.

The BSF says the people were smugglers and cattle-lifters who move across the international border under the cover of darkness and they shoot 'in self-defence'.
