The seizure was made near Pochina outpost in the district last night when a suspected intruder left them on seeing BSF men, some 50 meters inside the Indian territory.

However, no arrest was made in this regard, they said.

"The intruder entered into the Indian territory from Pakistan between 10.30 pm to 11 pm last night when it was raining in the area," they said.

The personnel rushed to the spot when they heard a gunshot which was mistakenly fired by the intruder who then fled back to Pakistan upon seeing the paramilitary men.

"Ten kg hashish, two pistols indicating Pakistani and Chinese origins, two magazines and a few another instuments have been seized from near pillar number 770," they said.
