A Bangladeshi cattle smuggler, who was injured in firing by BSF, was apprehended from West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, the border guards said on Tuesday. During a routine search in Tentulberia near the Ichhamati river on Monday night, BSF personnel found that a gang of around 10 rustlers were taking a number of cattle towards the international border.
When challenged, the smugglers tried to attack the border guards with bamboo sticks and sharp weapons, a BSF statement said here. BSF personnel then fired and one of them was injured.
The person, a resident of Satkhira in Bangladesh, was apprehended. Other members of the gang, however, managed to flee and the border guards rescued one cattle head, the statement said.
