A BSF spokesman said that at around 9.45 am, troopers observed a Pakistani intruder heading towards a fence in Chak Faquira border post in Samba sector.

“Despite repeated warnings, the intruder kept moving under suspicious circumstances and approached a border fence in an aggressive manner and was fired upon by BSF troops,” he said.

He had entered approximately 40 meters inside Indian territory when he was shot.

The BSF later retrieved the body of the intruder.

Another Pakistani intruder was killed in the same area on November 23 last year.
