Gurdaspur, December 9
The Border Security Force on Friday foiled an attempt by two intruders to cross over to India from Pakistan.
The BSF personnel of 170 Battalion were deployed on the Indo-Pak border near Chakkri Border Out Post (BOP) when they noticed that two Pakistani intruders, suspected to be smugglers, were trying to cross over the first fencing wire, which has just been constructed and has no gate, a BSF official said.
The BSF personnel challenged them and opened fire but they managed to escape towards Pakistan under cover of darkness and thick fog on the border.
BSF did not find any incriminating evidence when they searched the area this morning. — PTI
