India, Bangladesh DG-level border talks in Dhaka this month
'The 56th director general-level border talks between India and Bangladesh are expected to be held between August 25-28 at the BGB headquarters at Pilkhana in Dhaka. Talks are held between the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). A BGB delegation visited India in February for these talks. New Delhi, Aug 11 (PTI) India and Bangladesh are expected to hold their bi-annual border talks in Bangladesh this month-end. This will be the first time that the Indian delegation will travel to Dhaka post the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government last year. 'These talks were originally scheduled for July, but due to some administrative issues, they are now slated for this month,' a source in the security establishment told PTI. A delegation led by BSF DG Daljit Singh Chawdhary will travel to Dhaka for these talks, the source said. BSF officials said a host of issues related to a variety of cross-border crimes along the 4,096 km long international front will be discussed during this meeting. The BSF is expected to take up the issue of illegal infiltration. It will also inform the BGB that it has provided about 5,000 body-worn cameras to its troops on this border so that the evidence of attacks on the force's personnel by miscreants and other such activities on the border can be recorded and a 'strong' action be launched, the officials said. They, however, said the talks were not expected to draw any concrete policy steps as Bangladesh currently has an interim government. Muhammad Yunus, the chief adviser of the interim government in Bangladesh, announced last week that general elections would be held in the country in February 2026. The announcement coincided with the first anniversary of the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League regime on August 5. The two border forces, during the talks held in Delhi in February, decided to establish a new communication link between the second-in-command rank officers (additional director general) and had identified about 99 fresh patches for erecting a fence along the shared borders. A total of 864.48 km of this front remains unfenced, including 174.51 km of 'non-feasible' gap, according to official data. The DG-level border talks were held annually between 1975 and 1992, but they were made bi-annual in 1993, with either side alternatively travelling to the national capitals of New Delhi and Dhaka. The India-Bangladesh border spans across five states — West Bengal (2,217 km), Tripura (856 km), Meghalaya (443 km), Assam (262 km) and Mizoram (318 km). The BSF is designated as the lead security and intelligence-gathering agency for this front. PTI NES NSD NSD This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

One of them threatened to kill him, saying, "Do you want me to get out of the car and f***ing kill you?"Another clip shows a man mocking the victim: "Hey big nose, you know it's not illegal to go in front of your vehicle and h*** you.

Two collisions, both fatal, but Ahmedabad cops take different legal routes
1 2 3 Ahmedabad: Two crashes. Two sets of lives lost. Yet the legal paths taken by the police in each case are strikingly disparate. It could mean the difference between languishing in jail for a decade or just two years. Within three days of each other, a municipal truck driver in Jamalpur killed one man, while a teen motorist in Nehrunagar killed two scooter riders. But the charges they face under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita tell two very different stories. On Aug 7, E Division traffic police booked a municipal garbage truck driver for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The FIR says 51-year-old Yasin Barafwala died after the truck, allegedly speeding through Jamalpur Pagathia, ploughed into several parked vehicles before hitting him. The driver, Rahul Parmar, did not have a valid licence and drove recklessly. He was charged under the new BNS provision, replacing IPC Section 304 Part II, where the accused is believed to have acted with knowledge that their conduct was likely to cause death. Conviction could mean up to 10 years behind bars. By contrast, on Aug 10, N Division traffic police booked 20-year-old Rohan Soni under the lesser charge of causing death by negligent driving after his speeding car fatally struck two scooter riders in Nehrunagar. This provision, akin to IPC Section 304A, applies when death results from rash or negligent acts without knowledge of likely fatal consequences. It carries a maximum of two years' imprisonment, or a fine, or both.

Yet the differing charges mean the potential prison terms for the accused vary dramatically — from a decade to just two years. While E Division treated the truck driver's actions as "showing knowledge of likely fatal consequences", N Division charged Soni with only "negligence" , despite witness accounts, CCTV footage and his past record of traffic violations.
