SHILLONG:
The Border Security Force (BSF) has asserted that there would no mercy for any BSF personnel if they are found involved in the recent killing of seven-year-old boy, Krishna Singh, at Praharinagar BSF outpost in West Garo Hills district earlier this month.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the 3rd Inter Frontier BSF Badminton Championship here on Friday, the BSF IG Sudesh Kumar said, “BSF or no BSF a criminal is a criminal and law would take its own course.”
Killing of Krishna Singh who was a son of Kamal Singh, a water carrier of the 121 Battalion of the BSF, was suspected carried out for superstitious human sacrifice by some religious bigots. The boy had disappeared while on a visit to the temple inside the BSF base to offer prayers on the occasion of Durga Puja on the third day of celebrations. His body was recovered next morning after a frantic search. The body bore marks of several stab injuries.
The needle of suspicion was also pointed to one ‘tantrik’ (black magician) from Assam who was friendly with some BSF men and reportedly seen inside the campus during the Durga Puja celebrations. The ‘tantrik’ went untraced after the body of the child had been recovered.
“I have spoken to the DG of police in Assam to take adequate steps to arrest tantrik for a thorough interrogation”, the BSF IG said.
It may be mentioned that three BSF jawans have since been taken into custody in connection with the murder of the child.
The family of the boy resides in official quarters of the 121 Battalion of the BSF inside Praharinagar camp.
