Bangladeshi smuggler killed at Tripura border by BSF
Agartala, June 2 (UNI) A Bangladeshi smuggler was killed on Sunday following a violent clash with Border Security Force (BSF) personnel along India-Bangladesh border in the Debipur area under the Rangaouti panchayat of Kailashahar in the Unokoti district. Police said the incident occurred at the border patch between pillars 56 and 57 amid heavy rainfall. According to a report, a group of Bangladeshi smugglers launched an attack on BSF jawans stationed at the border post late on the night of 31 May. Taking advantage of poor visibility due to rain, the group allegedly pelted stones and attempted to attack the jawans with sharp weapons. Despite repeated warnings from BSF, the smugglers intensified their attack, forcing the jawans to fire in self-defence. Later during the search, BSF recovered a body, identified as Pradip Baidya (22), who was hit below the left knee and collapsed. Immediately, the rest of the group members fled back across the border. BSF jawans provided first aid and rushed the injured man to Unakoti District Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The deceased was later identified to be a resident of Sharifpur of Kulaura Upazila in Bangladesh's Moulvibazar district. His elder brother, Jayanta Baidya, confirmed that Pradip had left home the previous evening and did not return. Upon hearing of a death near the border, Jayanta on Monday visited the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) camp. However, BSF said the body will be handed over to the family through BGB after a post-mortem. UNI BB ARN

Radio operators spot suspicious, coded chats
Kolkata: Amateur radio operators in Bengal, who track messages on VHF signals, picked up suspicious conversations in Bengali and Urdu for over a month and forwarded it to the ministry of home affairs . The conversations were coded, leading them to suspect the persons' motive. The first conversation spotted was in Bengali, with a Bangladeshi accent. "A call sign was sent to the voice to know the identity but the line went silent. But we found the voice on a different frequency, speaking to another person in Urdu," said Ambarish Nag Biswas, founder of West Bengal Radio Club . Radio operators tracked multiple frequencies at the same time at night. "They used coded words," said Jayanta Baidya, a radio operator. They informed the Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing under the telecommunication department. Nag Biswas recorded the conversations and handed them to the MHA. "We had similar messages before the Basirhat violence," he said.
