A Bangladeshi family suffered harassment at the hands of Indian Border Security Force members who entered into Bangladesh territory and raided the bordering house on Thursday night.
The incident occurred at the Phulbari border of Uttar Kuthi Chandrakhana in Kurigram Sadar, border officials said on Friday.
Local villager Rafiqul Islam said BSF members forced their entry into the house despite his protest that no smuggler was there and the BSF men misbehaved with him and his family members.
However, BSF members told the Border Guard Bangladesh at a flag meeting on Friday that they entered Bangladesh by mistake while chasing smugglers in darkness, BGB officials said.
Lalmonirhat 15 BGB Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel SM Touhidul Alam said that the situation was brought under control after the flag meeting.
The BSF guards have admitted their wrongdoing, he said.
