A heavy exchange of fire between Indian and Bangladeshi border guards lasting seven hours has killed a schoolboy and injured some soldiers, officials say.
The incident happened at a border point in the Dinajpur district.
A spokesman for India's Border Security Force said the fighting began when an Indian border guard was kidnapped by a gang of smugglers from Bangladesh.
The Bangladeshi border force, the Bangladesh Rifles, says it was sparked by unprovoked firing from India.
