On January 7, 2011, Felani, 15, was shot dead by the BSF at Anantapur border point in Kurigram’s Phulbari upazila while she was trying to climb over the barbed wire fence. She was on her way to Bangladesh with her father from Delhi where she used to work as a domestic help.
A photo showing #Felani hanging from the fence was widely circulated by the media, sparking protests among the people against arbitrary killing along the Bangladesh-India border.
