BSF Kills Two Suspected Pakistani Intruders Near Punjab's Tarn Taran Border
On October 2, the Border Security Force (BSF) in Punjab's Tarn Taran district shot dead two suspected Pakistani nationals attempting to cross the India-Pakistan international border near Rajoke village. The intruders ignored warnings to stop and advanced toward Indian territory, prompting BSF personnel to open fire. A third individual reportedly retreated back to Pakistan. The identities of the deceased remain unconfirmed, and investigations are ongoing with coordination between BSF and Punjab Police. A meeting with Pakistan Rangers is expected regarding the incident.
