Felani Khatun, a Bangladeshi teenager, tragically lost her life on January 7, 2011, when BSF member Amiya Ghosh shot her while she was crossing a barbed wire fence with her father at the Anantpur border in Fulbari upazila, Kurigram. Her lifeless body, riddled with bullets, was left hanging on the barbed wire for nearly four hours.
