Myanmar hands over Mizanur's body

Myanmar’s Border Guard Police (BGP) has handed over the body of Mizanur Rahman, a nayek of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), on Saturday afternoon.

BGB Director General Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed told the Dhaka Tribune: “BGB members received Mizanur’s body around 5:30pm at Paanchhari in Dochhari of Bandarban.”

Asked about the hand over of Mizanur’s belongings including a sub-machine gun (SMG) and bullets, the BGB chief said: “We have not discussed those with the Myanmar authority.”

Earlier in the day, the Foreign Ministry summoned Myanmar Ambassador to Dhaka Myo Myint Than for the second time in three days in order to “strongly protest” the unwanted incidents on Bangladesh-Myanmar border.

Bangladesh asked Myanmar to “withdraw BGP troops from the Bangladesh-Myanmar international border (if any BGP troop is deployed).”

BGB Nayek Md Mizanur Rahman was killed and two other BGB personnel went missing on May 30 during the firing incidents. Later, the missing BGB members were found in the morning.
