The BSF alleged that the BGB had forced the man towards the Indian side and letting him cross the river Feni, which separates the two nations.

As BSF objected to it and took guard, several BGB men also took position and a war-like situation escalated for a brief period.

Later, a flag meeting was held between the BSF and the BGB in the evening.
