Agartala, July 6 (IANS) A Bangladeshi trooper and a civilian captured by villagers in Tripura while trying to abduct an Indian farmer from the border area, were handed over to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Friday, an official here said.

A Bangladeshi Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) trooper and a civilian were held by some villagers while the duo was trying to kidnap an Indian farmer late Thursday in western Tripura's Champahaur area, around 120 km from here, a Border Security Force (BSF) spokesman here said.

The RAB trooper, Mohammad Safiqul, and Bangladeshi national Subrata Tanti were later handed over by the villagers to the BSF. According to villagers, Krishna Narayan Kar was working in his paddy fields outside the border fencing when Safiqul and Tanti tried to abduct him.

"As a goodwill gesture, we (BSF) handed over both the men to BGB officials and have asked them to take legal action against the intruders."The trooper belongs to the 9th battalion of the RAB. Earlier on January 21 this year, the BSF had handed over to the Bangladeshi forces BGB personnel Lutfar Rahman, who was caught by some villagers for killing an Indian farmer.

Tripura shares a total of 856-km of border with Bangladesh, some of it unfenced and running through dense forests, making it difficult for Indian security forces to check infiltration.

According to a government official, about 8,750 families comprising over 50,000 people in the state have been affected by the ongoing construction of the barbed wire fencing along the border with Bangladesh. Properties, including fields and ponds of many, have fallen outside the fence.
India is erecting the fence along the 4,095-km India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Mizoram to check trans-border movement of militants and to prevent infiltration and border crimes.

I'm confused as to just what RAB's role is

This isn't going to go down well considering the string of human rights abuses they have committed.

The Indian farmer was in Bangladeshi territory when both of them tried to arrest him. But that bastard some how manage to escape...

Well, why would some random Bangladeshi will go to abduct an Indian? He is not a cow to smuggled across. There is certainly some sort of transaction going on between them.

The story does not adds up.

I am sure those guys went deep inside India or Indian village to settle the transaction and got into this trap.

Its strange to read remarks from ' eye witnesses' when everything is mere conjecture.

The truth may well be something entirely different.

No in Tripura border has been fenced at 0 border line that means working outside fense means it is in Bangladesh. As it is a paddy field so some other Indians also was around. They protested the arrest and captured both as they were only 2 but those Indians were many.

The last 2 paragraph of the article indicates the same.

The terrorist Krishna Narayan Kar must have been farming inside BD territory and the RAB trooper rightly tried to capture. Typical BSF terrorist infringed BD territory with BCB's hand tied behind their back thanks to awami indian dalals and the indian media true to their reputation found a good propaganda piece and twisted the story.
