Bid to infiltrate expected to test soldiers’ alertness: BSF IG

An intruder slain near the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba area on Thursday, according to a senior BSF officer, may have been sent to gauge the forces’ level of awareness.

At Samba’s Regal station along the IB on Wednesday night, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel stopped an attempt at infiltration and killed an intruder, according to authorities. On Thursday, the intruder’s corpse was removed from the location.

Around 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, the soldiers detected activity from the other side of the border. It was watched carefully. The invader crossed the international boundary after initially getting close to it. The soldiers opposed him, but he pressed on with determination. The invader was confronted twice more but still would not stop, so the soldiers opened fire on him, according to BSF Inspector General (IG) D K Boora.

According to him, the intruder may have been sent to survey the region and evaluate border security.

“Near the incident site, there is a gate that is often closed and a gap in the embankment. He tried to go across the border. The officer said, “It’s possible that more people from across the border were pursuing him, but they were hidden from the troops.”

The Inspector General expressed doubts that the intruder was not deployed to investigate the region, suggesting that he may have been a part of an infiltration scheme. If he had managed to slip in from the other side of the border, he would have been followed by anyone else who was watching him. These kinds of strategies are used at the border.

The Inspector General praised the forces, saying, “Our alert troops neutralized the intruder.” That is our responsibility. These kinds of activities also help to weaken the opposition. In response to police worries on two terrorist cells that may have just crossed the border and were hiding in the hills of Basantgarh, the official said, “I can only comment on this specific incident.” Basantgarh is a long way away and outside of our operating region. The cops are looking into it, and we will find out when they’re done. “We have no information about any infiltration attempts along the International Border,” he said when questioned about any infiltration attempts along the IB.
