The Border Security Force (BSF) deployed in Meghalaya on Sunday (28 December 2025) completely rejected the claim of Bangladesh Police that the accused involved in the murder of Inquilab Mancha leader Sharif Usman Hadi have fled to India and come to Meghalaya. BSF clearly said that no evidence of infiltration across the border has been found. These allegations are completely baseless and misleading.

According to BSF, Bangladesh Police had said that the suspects had entered Meghalaya from Huluaghat sector, but the forces deployed on the border did not find any record or information of any such activity. After this statement, discussions between the two countries regarding this sensitive matter have intensified.
