Srinagar: A Pakistani intruder was gunned down by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district at 2:50 am on Thursday.
According to a senior BSF official, “In the early hours of Thursday, alert BSF troops noticed a suspicious movement of a person who crossed the international border from Pakistan’s side in the Samba area. The intruder was challenged by the troops, but the intruder kept advancing towards the border fencing. The troops fatally shot him.”
The officials launched a search operation near the international border in the Samba sector as the intruder’s body was lying in the forward area. They also added that no weapons were found from the intruder and that they only recovered Rs. 450 in Pakistani rupees from him.
This is the second incident to occur at the Jammu division of the India-Pakistan border in the last two days. On Wednesday, army officials foiled the infiltration bid of three terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of J&K.
