JAMMU: Border Security Force (BSF) foiled an infiltration bid, killing one Pakistani intruder along the International Border (IB) in Bobiya village of Kathua district on Sunday morning.

“The area has been cordoned off and the search operation is under way,” a BSF spokesperson said, adding that the encounter was triggered after BSF troops observed suspicious movement along the IB.

“The BSF troops challenged the individual. But instead on paying heed to our warning, the individual tried to take cover in the nearby undulating ground, triggering the encounter,” he said.

BSF Spokesperson said, “It appears that the intruder was guide sent to give a signal of clearance to terrorists waiting on the other side of the IB. Dead body of individual has been recovered and legal formalities are on.”
