Border Security Force jawans neutralized two suspected Pakistani infiltrators attempting to cross the international border in Punjab’s Tarn Taran sector. The encounter occurred near Rajoke village, where security personnel detected movement on the Pakistan side. The two men ignored verbal warnings to halt their advance. They pressed forward toward Indian territory. BSF personnel opened fire in self-defense. Both individuals were killed at the scene.
Initial intelligence suggests a coordinated attempt to breach the border fence. No weapons or explosives were recovered from the bodies. Local police have cordoned off the area for forensic examination. The Tarn Taran sector has seen heightened security alerts in recent weeks.
A formal inquiry is underway to determine the specific motive behind the infiltration attempt. The Home Ministry has been briefed on the incident. Further details regarding the identities of the deceased are being verified by intelligence agencies.
