The Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday foiled a major narcotic smuggling bid along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba after it shot dead a Pakistani intruder, a BSF spokesperson said.
According to the BSF spokesperson, four kilograms of narcotic substance was recovered from the possession of the deceased intruder. During the initial search, four packets of suspected narcotics, each weighing one kilogram, were found.
“In the intervening night of July 24 and 25, the vigilant BSF troops neutralised a Pakistani smuggler who was trying to smuggle narcotics through the Ramgarh border area,” the spokesman said in Jammu.
Earlier, officials said alert border guards picked up suspicious movement near the S M Pura post in the Ramgarh sector late Monday night and opened fire when the suspected intruder paid no heed to the repeated warnings.
The identity of the deceased is awaited as the search of the area is still continuing, the officials said.
