Suspected militants ambushed a BSF patrol and critically wounded a trooper near Bangladesh border in Kanchanpur of north Tripura on Friday. Havildar Girish Kumar Yadav (53) succumbed to bullet injuries after he was evacuated by a helicopter and admitted to a private hospital here.
BSF blamed the NLFT (BM) group for the attack at Khantlang, a triangle bordering both Mizoram and Bangladesh. It said the militants fled to the dense forests after the jawans retaliated.
