On 16th Sept' 2024, during the night hours, alert BSF troops on duty observed suspicious movement of a Pakistani intruder at about 09:13 pm, who surreptitiously crossed the IB (International Boundary) and started approaching towards border security fence taking advantage of darkness, in the border area near Village- Ratankhurd of district Amritsar.
BSF troops immediately challenged the intruder but he did not stop his advance towards the border security fence, and showed agressive gesture. The troops on duty fired upon the advancing intruder neutralizing him on the spot. Pak currency of Rupees 270/ in various denominations with one half torn Pak 10 Rupees note were recovered from his possession. The dead body of the Pak intruder has been handed over to PS- Gharinda for further action.
Vigilant and dutiful BSF troops once again successfully foiled the nefarious intentions of cross border terror-syndicate to carry out this infiltration bid into the Indian territory from across the border.
