A suspected Pakistani intruder was shot dead by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the International Border (IB) in Punjab today.
Officials said Border Security Force personnel spotted some movement early morning at the IB near the Paharipur border post in Gurdaspur sector.
They said the suspected intruder was challenged repeatedly but he did not pay heed to it and hence was shot. Officials said, the area has been cordoned off and a search has been launched to retrieve the body and look for other possible suspects in the area.
