Pakistani intruder shot dead in Gurdaspur

May 15, 2017 08:13

A cross border infiltration bid was successfully foiled by the Border Security Force troops in Gurdaspur, Punjab, who gunned down a Pakistani intruder.

This comes after a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist was arrested from along the Indo-Nepal border yesterday.

Earlier on Saturday, Jammu Police confirmed that they had arrested five persons and busted a Lashkar-e-Tayyaba module, following the May 7 attack on a police station on Tanta Doda district.

Inspector General of Police (Jammu) Dr S D Singh, who confirmed the news of the arrests, informed media that a Special Investigation Team of five senior officers has been formed to interrogate the suspects for more information on their operations.

So far, the SIT has picked up local suspects, including one Abdul Rashid Harga, a surrendered former LeT terrorist.

Indian security forces are maintaining severe caution in keeping a check on the cross border infiltrations, especially after the Krishna Ghatti incident, where two Indian soldiers were mutilated by Pakistan Army. -- ANI
