A Pakistani intruder was shot dead by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the India-Pakistan international border in Rajasthan’s Barmer district late on Friday.
BSF officials said the 23 year old man, crossed the international border (IB), crossed another fencing installed around 150 meters inside the Indian territory. Officers contend that when he was about to cross the last fencing on Indian land, BSF personnel warned him.
The incident took place around 1 am at the Bakhasar area in Barmer district near the border pillar number 919 Baamno Ki Dhani area, Border Security Force said.
“Earlier, similar attempts made by Pakistan during day time were also foiled by the BSF. However this is the first time that infiltration attempt has been made during night in this area,” it said.
BSF has sent a request to Pakistan Rangers to identify the intruder, and further details about him are awaited.
