BSF thwarts infiltration bid by 3 Pakistani intruders in Punjab's Pathankot

Chandigarh, April 22

The Border Security Force thwarted an infiltration attempt by three Pakistani intruders along the India-Pakistan international border in Punjab's Pathankot district, officials said on Thursday.

BSF personnel opened fire when they noticed suspicious movement of three people trying to enter into the Indian territory around 10.15 pm on Wednesday, a BSF official said.

He said the three went back after the BSF troops posted at the Paharipur border outpost fired gunshots to stop them.

A joint search operation was being conducted in the area by the BSF and Punjab Police, a police official said. PTI
