Swarna Das (Bengali:স্বর্ণা দাস) was a Bangladeshi teenage girl who was killed at Bangladesh India Border on 1 September 2024 by BSF firing.[3] BSF took her body into India, did post mortem and returned her body after 45 hours.[4] This incident created angers among Bangladeshis, but BSF denied firing and blamed BGB for this incident.[3]

Meanwhile, Porendra Das, father of deceased girl said at media briefing in a tearful voice, Swarna wanted to go to India to see her brother. But the body went to India. He also said, If they didn't let go in, they could have arrested and jailed her. She would have been prosecuted by law.[1]
