Agartala, Mac 1 (FD) A Bangladeshi smuggler was shot dead by BSF at Putia under Kalamchoura police station in Sepahijala district, BSF said on Saturday.

At about 7-30 PM a group of 20 to 25 Bangladeshi miscreants intruded inside Indian territory  at Putia and indulged in smuggling with the Indian miscreants on Friday. When BSF cautioned them they attacked the BSF jawans in which one jawan was seriously injured, BSF said.
