Minhajul, Lata, Aktarul, Hahidul and Abdul Khaleque of Sharsha went to India with a cancer patient for treatment. On way they stayed in a house of a relative at Bongaon. A group of villagers suspecting of stealing a motorbike dragged them out of the house at dead of night and beat them to death.

BSF handed over the bodies to BDR at Benapole border in presence of wailing relatives.

Earlier in the afternoon, BSF returned a young woman, who had fallen victim of traffickers three months ago. Rokeya Begum was returned to Saviour, an NGO of Bangladesh in presence of her mother, a resident of Pantala village in Jessore district.

Babul had married Rokeya, took her to Kolkata on plea of tour and sold to a brothel. She fled from the brothel and took shelter in NGO Action Aid.

Meanwhile, Babul had been arrested on return to Bangladesh.
