Victim Md. Sayab Ali Mondal is a daily wage earner, who manages to feed his family by working<br />
on a small piece of land.<br />
On 10 November 2006, while he was approaching his land with his two sons, Md. Sayab Ali<br />
Mondal saw some BSF personnel unloading smuggled goods from a vehicle clearly from<br />
Bangladesh.<br />
Frightened by the presence of a civilian, the BSF personnel became furious. They began to<br />
beat Md. Sayab Ali Mondal severely with bamboo sticks. Even when Md. Sayab Ali Mondal<br />
was knocked to the ground, they did not stop. Md. Sayab Ali Mondal received grave injuries to<br />
his left wrist, and fell unconscious.<br />
When Md. Sayab Ali Mondal regained consciousness, he visited nearby Sagarpara Hospital.<br />

of his wrist. The x-ray report showed that Md. Sayab Ali Mondal’s wrist had sustained multiple<br />
fractures.<br />
