LALMONIRHAT, Jan 28 (UNB): A Bangladeshi young man was allegedly beaten to death by members of Border Security Force of India (BSF) near Burimari border in Patgram upazila early Sunday.

The deceased identified as Manjurul Alam, 21, son of Asadul Islam, a resident of Ufarmara village in the upazila, was a cattle trader.
