Two Pakistani nationals were shot dead on Thursday after allegedly attempting to infiltrate into India by crossing the international border near Punjab, officials said.
The incident occurred in the Tarn Taran sector near Rajoke village, where Border Security Force (BSF) personnel were carrying out routine surveillance.
According to the report, the two men were spotted trying to enter Indian territory. BSF personnel issued a warning and asked them not to proceed.
However, the intruders allegedly ignored the warning and continued moving forward, following which the BSF opened fire, killing both on the spot.
Security personnel have taken custody of the bodies and initiated an investigation to confirm their identities and determine whether they had any links to terrorism, the report added.
