BSF Kills Two Smugglers on Tripura Border During Clash
Some people were trying to sneak across the border from Bangladesh into India with some medicine.
Border security guards (BSF) saw them and told them to stop, but the people got angry and started attacking the guards.
The guards had to shoot to protect themselves.
Two people from Bangladesh died, and some others were hurt.
The police arrested some people from India who were involved too.
This happened because people were trying to break the law and smuggle things across the border, and the guards had to stop them.

The incident occurred during an alleged smuggling attempt of Viagra pills across the border.
One deceased was handed over to Bangladesh, the other died in a hospital there.
