Indian police on Saturday handed over the body of a Bangladeshi citizen, who died inside the neighbouring country鈥檚 territory, to Bangladesh police.
The deceased Bangladeshi is Md Rizaul Karim, son of Abdus Sattar of Alinapara village in Sherpur Sadar upazila, according to the police.
The body of Rezaul was handed over to Bangladesh police at 1:00pm in the presence of Border Guard Bangladesh and Border Security Force members through the Bagmara LC of the 200 BSF Battalion, opposite to the Bijoypur BOP under the Netrakona Battalion.
Rezaul鈥檚 family members identified his body.
