BSF clarifies viral video of Bangladeshi entering India illegally
Outdated and Unauthentic Video Misleading the Public and Social Media Handlers in regards to Border Guarding
In light of recent social media activity and content depicting purported illegal crossings from Bangladesh to India through unfenced areas, the Border Security Force Meghalaya would like to address and clarify the situation to maintain transparency and uphold the sanctity of the Border.
Firstly the video posted by a Bangladeshi YouTuber is of last year i.e. March 2023 but has been reposted. This video pertains to the accessibility of the border areas of Bangladesh. Based on this video several assumption are being made by social media handlers who are not aware of the correct security grid and present ground conditions.
Such isolated videos which are posted in social media with intention to gain their followers and publicity should not overshadow the daily efforts and successes of BSF in preventing illegal activities along the border.
IG BSF Meghalaya urges the public and media to exercise caution and verify facts before spreading information that may cause unnecessary alarm or damage the reputation of our security forces. It’s worth mentioning here that the video in question has already been deleted by the originator, which by itself indicates the authenticity and veracity of the video.
The BSF remains dedicated to its mission of securing India’s borders with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. We appreciate the support and understanding of the public and media in these endeavors.
