By The Assam Tribune

AGARTALA, Jan 21 � The BSF today handed over Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) head constable who had shot dead an Indian farmer in Tripura�s Sipahijala district along the border to the force.

Lutfar Rahaman was handed over to the 33 battalion of BGB of Comilla sector about 3 am, sources said.

Following the killing of farmer Shaha Alam of Tarakpur village yesterday, there was a commandant-level flag meeting between 29 battalion of BSF and 33 battalion of BGB near the spot but it was inconclusive as the BGB personnel were pressing for handing Lutfar to them, the sources said.
