BSF foils intrusion bid, kills Pak intruder

CHANDIGARH: BSF has foiled a cross-border intrusion bid after it shot dead a Pakistani intruder at Border Out Post Dhindha in Gurdaspur sector of Punjab.

“BSF troops of Border Out Post Dhindha Sector Gurdaspur observed suspicious movement of a Pakistani intruder who crossed the International Border and came inside the Indian territory. BSF troops challenged him to stop but the intruder continued with his aggressive posture. Hence, BSF troops opened fire in self-defence and killed him,” a BSF official said.

This incident took place at around 8 PM last night.

Due to the enhanced vigil of BSF troops, the attempt of anti-national elements has been thwarted, the official said. (AGENCIES)
