"The identity and motive of the intruder is being ascertained," he said. The BSF spokesperson stated that a strong protest is being lodged with the Pakistani authorities regarding the incident.

According to PTI, official sources said that the BSF informed the police, who then moved the body from the scene for postmortem examination and other legal procedures.

On Monday, the BSF troops stationed in Amritsar detected suspicious movement near the IB, where an individual was seen crossing into Indian territory and approaching the border security fence. In a prompt response, the troops ordered him to halt and subsequently detained him.

During initial questioning, the intruder identified himself as a Pakistani national.

The apprehension occurred in an area near the village of Bharopal in the Amritsar district, the BSF stated. Following preliminary questioning by the BSF and associated agencies, the Pakistani intruder was handed over to the local police for further investigation to determine his motive for crossing the International Border.
