The Border Security Force (BSF) troops in Punjab’s Ferozepur sector shot dead an unidentified Pakistani intruder when he tried to enter the Indian territory on the intervening night of 7-8.
This development came just a day after Operation Sindoor, India’s military operation which targeted terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok).
The body has been handed to the police, and investigations are going on to ascertain his identity.
The officials stated that the incident occurred near Gate No. 207 at the Lakha Singhwala Hithar BSF checkpost in the Mamdot sector of the Ferozepur district, one of the six border districts in Punjab.
The officials added that BSF personnel spotted some suspicious movement in the border outpost in the Ferozepur sector along the international border. The BSF personnel first challenged him, but he did not stop after crossing over to this side. He was fired upon by the vigilant BSF troops when he was moving towards the border security fence, taking advantage of the darkness.
