The event took place on 13 March 2009 at 12.30 noon in the Sonadanga and Horitokidanga villages of Naogaon when the BSF opened fire on some young Bangladeshi boys. A BSF soldier had an argument with a boy fishing in the Dolakhari Lake situated 20 yards from the 248/1/R international pillar between India and Bangladesh. During the argument the BSF started to fire and hit two boys who were grazing their buffalos in the filed about 50 yards from the border. Abdur Rakib and Omar Faruq were shot by the BSF and Abdur Rakib being shot in the chest, died instantly. What happened next can only be described as manifestation of cruelty and utmost disregard of law.
