Farmers from India and Bangladesh clashed at the border on Saturday morning over allegations of crop theft, according to the Border Security Force (BSF).

The confrontation started near a BSF outpost when Indian farmers accused their Bangladeshi counterparts of stealing crops, leading to a heated exchange and stone-pelting.

Swift action from BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) de-escalated the conflict, dispersing the crowd and sending farmers back to their respective regions without any injuries, the BSF reported.
