Speaking to the media in the Thakurgaon Circuit House on Monday, the BGB chief said: "This is an unfortunate incident. Both locals and BGB personnel will exercise greater caution to avoid such an incident in future." According to the local administration, BGB personnel raided Baharampur under the Bokua Union in Haripur Upazila on Feb 12 on suspicion of cows being smuggled into the village. But the BGB said that the villagers attacked them after BGB troopers seized a stolen cow. BGB personnel had been seizing cattle from the village for nearly a month, they added.
