Border Security Force (BSF) personnel successfully neutralized a suspected Pakistani infiltrator attempting to cross into Indian territory through the Banaskantha district border on Friday night. This operation comes amid heightened security measures across the nation following Operation Sindoor, with agencies remaining vigilant against espionage and infiltration attempts.
According to official reports, BSF troops detected a suspicious individual crossing the international boundary into Indian territory. The border guards issued warnings to the suspected infiltrator, but the person continued advancing toward the Indian side. Given the circumstances, BSF personnel opened fire, resulting in the immediate death of the suspected intruder at the location.
In a separate incident, security forces apprehended another suspected spy near the Kutch border. The detained individual faces allegations of providing intelligence to Pakistan, with evidence suggesting the person transmitted photographs of sensitive areas along the Kutch border to Pakistani handlers.
The incidents highlight the increasing infiltration attempts through Gujarat’s coastal regions. Pakistani nationals are frequently intercepted while attempting unauthorized border crossings through Gujarat’s coastline and the Kutch area. Gujarat’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has also arrested an additional suspected spy in connection with these activities.
Security agencies remain on high alert following recent intelligence operations, implementing enhanced surveillance measures along the western border to prevent further infiltration and espionage activities.
