According to a public relations officer of the BSF, the alert troops noticed suspicious movements of a man near the Chilliyari border outpost along the international border in the early hours. The man was carrying a bag.

The troops opened fire, resulting in injuries to the intruder, the official said.

Following a search operation, eight packets containing about 8kg of narcotics, likely to be heroin, were seized, he added.
