Pakistan Intruder Shot Dead By Border Security Force In Pathankot

Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Dec, 2016 02:37 PM
    The Border Security Force (BSF) has stopped a cross-border intrusion bid after its troops shot down a suspect at Dhinda post in Pathankot district of Punjab.
     
    BSF personnel shot the intruder dead last night after he came close to the border fencing in Bamiyal area, a police official posted in Pathankot said today.
     
    Meanwhile, a massive search operation was launched yesterday by Punjab police, Himachal Pradesh police and army in Pathankot after a local resident claimed to have spotted four to five armed men roaming around suspiciously.
     
    As many as 250 security personnel, including SWAT commandos, were deployed in the search operation in the hilly areas located on the border of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
     
     
    Pathankot had seen a major terror attack in January this year when heavily-armed terrorists who had sneaked in from across the border attacked an air base.
     
    On July 27 last year, Dinanagar in Punjab's Gurdaspur was also targeted by terrorists.
