It has led to public protests in front of the local Circle Office, demanding strict action against the culprits.

“An allegation against BSF was raised that a youth, identified as Nirmol Namasudra, of Amtoli village in the border area, died on Saturday after being severely beaten up by a few BSF jawans a day ago. The BSF personnel took him to a local hospital on Friday night,” an official said.

As the man suffered grievous injuries, he was sent to Silchar Medical College and Hospital and later died there, he added.

“Although the administration took some steps to control the situation in Katigorah, tension prevailed with locals assembling at the Circle Office and demanding the arrest of the BSF personnel,” the official said.
