"Three Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) personnel tried entering the Indian territory at Muktapur near Dawki. The BSF troopers
first warned them and later had to fire one round in the air," BSF DIG Ravi Gandhi told PTI.

He said one of them was caught by the BSF and "he will be handed over to the Bangladesh authorities during a flag
meeting later in the day".

There was, however, no casualty in the firing, the DIG added.
