Pakistani citizen crosses line of control in IIOJ&K, held

The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday apprehended a Pakistani national who mistakenly crossed the Line of Control near R.S. Pura sector in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The 40-year-old, who identified himself as Shabbir during preliminary inquiry, was held while he was making a desperate attempt to cross the fence.

“BSF troopers observed the suspicious movement of the Pakistani national who had crossed the IB near BP No 942. He was warned to stop but did not pay any attention,” the BSF said in a statement.

Shabbir was subsequently fired upon due to which he sustained a minor injury.
The BSF troopers later apprehended Shabbir and handed him over to the police.
