Indian court acquits accused BSF soldier
Victim's father rejects verdict, wants govt to take the matter to int'l court; no official word yet from BSF
Staff Correspondent
A special court in the Indian state of West Bengal has acquitted a Border Security Force (BSF) constable of murdering Felani Khatun on the border in January 2011.
The court said Amiya Ghosh was not guilty of shooting the Bangladeshi girl when she crossed the barbed-wire fence into Bangladesh from India, sources told our New Delhi correspondent yesterday.
Felani’s father Nurul Islam rejected the verdict and said that he would appeal to the government to take the matter to the international court.
He, however, said he learnt about the acquittal from the media and was yet to know it officially.
Details as to why the border guard was absolved were not available in the absence of an official word from the BSF of India.
