KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: Farmers from India and Bangladesh clashed along the international border in West Bengal's Malda district on Saturday, forcing border guards from both nations to fire stun grenades and tear gas to disperse crowds that swelled to nearly 1,000 people on each side, officials said.
The confrontation, which began around 11:45 am at Sukhdevpur, about 50 km south of Malda town, erupted after Indian farmers accused their Bangladeshi counterparts of crossing the border to steal crops, BSF officials said. The incident quickly escalated from an altercation to stone pelting between residents of both countries.
