<b>BDR killed our man for bottle of syrup: BSF</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->BSF sources are now saying that a cheap cough syrup that is widely abused by drug addicts in Bangladesh could have led to the brutal killing of the young BSF officer.
Sources on condition of anonymity have told Indiatimes News Network that local smugglers and the BDR were angered by the efforts of the BSF officer to curb the smuggling of the syrup across the border.
The BSF alleges that local BDR officers actively support local gangs who smuggle a wide spectrum of narctoics and drugs, including bottles of Phensidyl, into Bangladesh.
Phensidyl contains codeine, an opium extraction. Under the Drug Ordinance of 1982, the Bangladesh Government had banned the product from the import list, but is smuggled into Bangladesh as an alternative to more expensive narcotics.
