CHAPAINAWABGANJ, Dec 14, 2025 (BSS) - The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has imposed the highest level of security alert along the Chapainawabganj border following the shooting of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Mancha and a potential independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency.

To prevent suspects involved in the attack from fleeing to India, BGB intensified surveillance and search operations across the border starting from midnight on December 12. Patrols, intelligence monitoring, and vehicle checks have been stepped up throughout the border belt.

Lieutenant Colonel Kazi Mustafizur Rahman, commander of the BGB-53 Battalion in Chapainawabganj, said stringent security measures were enforced immediately after the incident. 

"In addition to regular patrols, 19 extra patrol teams have been deployed, and two additional check posts have been set up," he added.

Lieutenant Colonel Golam Kibria, commander of the BGB-59 Battalion, said that 20 additional patrol teams are operating alongside routine patrols. "Check posts have been established at key points, including three road intersections under each Border Outpost (BOP). Search operations are ongoing on motorcycles and other vehicles," he added.
