Punjab: BSF Apprehends 2 Pakistani Intruders Along International Border In Gurdaspur

The Pakistani intruders were trying to enter into the Indian territory by crossing the Gurdaspur international border, following which they were arrested by the BSF.

The Border Security Forces troops on Wednesday arrested two persons after observing suspicious movement near the international border in Punjab's Gurdaspur district. The suspects were trying to enter into the Indian territory by crossing the border from Pakistan's side.

As they approached towards the border fence, the BSF troops immediately challenged and apprehended them in the border area of district Gurdaspur.

The duo was nabbed ahead of the border fence near Village Ghaniaka Bet of Punjab's Gurdaspur district. However, nothing suspicious was found from their possession, BSF told news agency ANI.

BSF on Tuesday also intercepted the movement of a drone ahead of the border fence in Punjab's Tarn Taran district. Following the protocol, BSF neutralised the drone and recovered 1 small drone with 1 packet of suspected heroin weighing 550 grams attached with it.

In a separate incident, the BSF on May 10 observed suspicious movement of an individual crossing the international border from Pakistan, heading towards the Amritsar border fence.

Thereafter, the BSF troops challenged and apprehended the intrider near the border fence.

During interrogation it was revealed that the individual did not have any ulterior motive and had unintenionally entered into the Indian territory as he was unware of the alignment of the international border.

The BSF troops did not find any objectionable items in his possession during the search.

In order to address the concern about Pakistan's failure to prevent its citizen from entering into India, India held a flag meeting with the Pak Rangers. Following this, the individual was handed over to Pakistan on humanitarian grounds on May 11.
