Pak intruder injured, BSF foils infiltration bid at Jammu border

A Pakistani national was arrested in injured condition after the BSF foiled an infiltration bid along the International Border in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday night, officials said.

This is the second infiltration attempt in the Samba sector in the past fortnight. Earlier, an intruder was shot dead by BSF along the border in the same sector on May 5.

"A Pakistani national was noticed attempting to sneak into this side from across the IB under the cover of darkness and was challenged by the Indian border guards," an official said.

He said BSF fired a few rounds, resulting in a bullet injury to the intruder in his back.
