Five BSF men injured, vehicle vandalised in attack by suspected cattle smugglers in Tripura
Sepahijala: Five Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel were injured and a vehicle was vandalised after being attacked by suspected cattle smugglers near the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura’s Sepahijala district.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Bikash Das, the officer-in-charge of the Bishalgarh police station, said the incident took place on Friday evening along the Bishalgarh–Kamthana Road when BSF personnel deployed at the Kamthana border outpost signaled a vehicle to stop. However, the vehicle allegedly sped away toward a nearby cattle market.
”The BSF personnel chased the vehicle to the cattle market. There, a war of words broke out between the cattle smugglers and the BSF personnel, which escalated, leading to the attack. Five personnel were injured and their vehicle was vandalised,” he said.
Police said a complaint had been lodged, and efforts were being made to arrest those involved in the attack.
