On January 7, 2011, Bangladeshi teenager Felani was returning home with her father from India through Anantpur border in Phulbari. He was brutally shot dead by the BSF while he was crossing the Kattar fence by ladder at night through Dalal. His body hangs on the barbed wire fence for 5 hours.
When this incident drew a storm of criticism from the media and human rights activists of the country and abroad, the case started accusing the accused BSF member Amiya Ghosh. Amiya Ghosh was acquitted by a special court on September 6, 2013.
