Dhaka - A young Bangladeshi man was gunned down by suspected Indian security forces near the India-Bangladesh border amid mounting tension along the common frontier of the two neighbours, local police said Monday.
Omar Shareef, chief of Benapole police station in north-western Bangladesh, claimed the body also bore marks of multiple wounds.
With the latest casualty, the number of people killed since Friday in border violence rose to seven.
Bangladeshi officials said the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has taken up an aggressive posture since the paramilitary outfit was ordered to shoot at sight any person near the frontier after sunset.
