On 30th January, 2022, around midnight, under the South Bengal Frontier, troop of the Border Out Post Narsaripara, 141 Battalion, observed a suspicious movement in its area and immediately informed to the patrolling party and fellow jawan. The patrolling party noticed that some Bangladeshi smugglers were moving on the banks of the Mathabhanga river. The troops immediately launched a search operation. Seeing the troops coming towards them, the smugglers took advantage of the darkness and fled towards Bangladesh. On searching of the area one country-made pistol, 01 magazine and 04 live rounds were recovered. Before the smugglers could succeed in their plans, BSF jawans foiled their conspiracy. On gathering information by the BSF’s intelligence department, it has been learned that the smugglers had the intention of smuggling by making likely use of firing on the jawans and injuring them.
