BSF Apprehends Pakistani Intruder at Jammu Border, Recovers Currency

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday apprehended a Pakistani intruder at the International Border in the RS Pura sector of Jammu, ANI reported. According to an official statement from the BSF Public Relations Officer (PRO), the troops noticed suspicious movement when a Pakistani national attempted to cross the border fence late at night.

The incident occurred on September 7, 2025, at around 9:10 PM, when BSF troops observed a man aggressively approaching the border fence in Suchetgarh, Jammu. Despite being warned, the intruder ignored repeated calls to stop. Sensing a potential threat, the BSF opened fire before taking him into custody.

During questioning, the man identified himself as Siraaj Khan, son of Zahid Khan, resident of Village 27 Chak, Tehsil Bhalwal, District Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan. A search revealed Pakistani currency, and he was subsequently handed over to the local police. The BSF stated that a formal protest has been lodged with Pakistani authorities regarding the intrusion.

On the same day, BSF personnel also cracked down on narco-terror activities in Punjab, thwarting multiple smuggling attempts along the border. Acting on intelligence, BSF Punjab, in coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Task Force in Amritsar, apprehended a smuggler near Chabbal in Tarn Taran, recovering 504 grams of heroin, a mobile phone, and a bike.

Later, at Sur Singh Market in Tarn Taran, a joint team detained four smugglers and seized 5.032 kg of heroin, two pistols, a Scorpio vehicle, four mobile phones, two motorcycles, and cash worth Rs 1,000. Additionally, BSF recovered a drone used for cross-border smuggling.

The BSF emphasized that its troops remain on high alert along the India-Pakistan border, ensuring that infiltration and smuggling attempts are effectively countered to maintain national security.
