On Tuesday morning, BSF troops observed suspicious movement on the Indo-Pakistan border near village Dariya Mansoor in Gurdaspur. The man kept moving despite being challenged after which the troops shot him dead in an act of self-defence.
In a statement, the BSF said: “Today at about 0830 hrs, BSF troops of BOP Channa of Gurdaspur Sector observed suspected movement of an armed Pak intruder ahead of B S Fence who was approaching B S Fence from Pak side. The suspected intruder was challenged and neutralised by BSF troops”.
A gun was found near the body after which the security forces began a search of the area.
The incident was reported a day after the BSF recovered a Pakistani drone with approximately one kg of heroin in the Gurdaspur sector.
