The Border Security Force (BSF) shot dead a Pakistani intruder who attempted to cross the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir, officials reported on Saturday. The incident occurred during the intervening night of April 4 and 5, when BSF troops observed suspicious movement near the IB.
According to an official BSF statement, the intruder continued to advance despite repeated warnings, prompting the personnel to open fire and neutralise the threat. The identity and motive of the individual remain under investigation.
The BSF has lodged a strong protest with their Pakistani counterparts following the breach. The local police were alerted, and the body was removed from the site for postmortem examination and to complete other legal formalities.
Authorities are continuing the probe, and further details are awaited.
