New Delhi, August 8

The BSF today said its troops had shot dead an intruder from Pakistani side along International Border (IB) in Barmer district of Rajasthan in the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.

A senior officer said, “BSF troops observed a Pakistani intruder who crossed the IB. When he was challenged, he did not stop and tried to run towards the other side.”

Since he didn’t stop, BSF men fired upon him, as he hid behind a bush. Later during a search operation, he was found dead, he said. The BSF team also saw “10-15 torchlight flashes” and heard “shouting from the Pakistan side”. — TNS
