Amritsar: After drone intrusions for three days in a row, Border Security Force (BSF) troopers foiled an intrusion attempt by Pakistan by gunning down an armed man, believed to be a terrorist, near the border village of Darya Mansoor in Amritsar district at around 8 am on Tuesday. The armed intruder, in his late forties, had crossed the international border and was heading towards the border fence in the area falling under the BSF’s border outpost Channa in Gurdaspur sector.
Spotting the intruder, the BSF personnel challenged him, but he continued to move towards the border fence regardless which led to the BSF men shooting him dead, said BSF’s Inspector General (IG), Punjab Frontier, Asif Jalal. BSF personnel found a pump action gun from near the body of the slain intruder, 6 live rounds, cigarettes, and a lighter. Jalal said the body had been handed over to the police and a protest note had been given to Pakistan Rangers.
