The incident occurred around 10:30 pm under the jurisdiction of the BSF's Daoke Border Out Post and Gharinda police station. The man ignored warnings to stop, prompting BSF personnel to open fire. No contraband or identification was found, and the man's identity and nationality remain unknown. Authorities are investigating the circumstances.
