A 31-year-old Pakistani intruder was arrested by Border Security Force (BSF) troops along the International Border here, security officials said on Wednesday.

Shahid Imran, a resident of Sargodha in Pakistan's Punjab, was taken into custody from Makwal after he sneaked into this side from across the border Tuesday evening, the officials said.

They said two knives, one each smart watch, cigarette packet, an empty SIM card holder and a Rs 5 coin in Pakistani currency were recovered from Imran's possession, they said.

During questioning, the intruder claimed that he had inadvertently crossed the border.

After initial questioning, he was handed over to police for further necessary action, the officials said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
