A Pakistani intruder was shot dead by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the international border in Punjab's Gurdaspur sector, the paramilitary force said on Friday (15 January).
"The BSF personnel detected suspicious movement of an intruder from the Pakistan side near the barbed fence inside Indian territory at 8.45 p.m. on Thursday. Sensing imminent threat, the troops opened fire and shot dead the intruder," the BSF (Punjab Frontier) said on Twitter.
The deceased could not be identified as no proof of identity was recovered, an official said.
Earlier on 16 December last year, the BSF shot dead two armed intruders and seized arms, ammunition and heroin, foiling three attempts by Pakistan-based narco-terrorists in a single night to push infiltrators and drugs into India, reports Times of India.
The BSF recovered one AK-56 assault rifle, two magazines and 61 live rounds, one Magnum rifle, one magazine and 29 live rounds, one Olympia-marked pistol with two magazines and around 5 kg of heroin.
