A 30-year-old Nepali man was killed when the Indian Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) opened fire Thursday morning following a dispute within the culvert construction amid ongoing tensions at the border near Anandabazar. Police chief of the far western region DIG Romendra Deuja confirmed the death of Govinda Gautam of Punarbaas Municipality- 8 in the incident. “But the SSB man who opened fire is not identified yet,” he said. According a good eyewitness, the thanedaar (SSB local unit chief) had opened fire. “The thanedaar took out his pistol and fired four periods. And it was the forth shot that hit Govinda,” said Devendra Khadka, who is from the deceased man's locality. “The bullet hit him in the waist and he collapsed instantly,” Khadka added.
