BSF fires warning shots as hundreds try to cross border

BSF fired warning shots and formed a human barrier to stop hundreds of Bangladeshi politicians and workers from entering Bengal, fearing violence in Bangladesh. More than 200 villagers gathered at Kishanganj-North Dinajpur border. Approximately 600 Bangladeshis demanded entry near Jalpaiguri. Indians returning from Bangladesh recounted scenes of violence and arson against Awami League supporters and Hindus.
