Women BSF constables foil Pak intruder’s attempt

Batala: An attempt by three intruders to sneak into the Indian territory from Pakistan was foiled by women personnel of BSF in Ajnala sector last night, an official of the force said today.

The women constables of the BSF deployed at Sundergarh Border Out Post (BOP) in Ajnala Sector noticed some movement on the Indo-Pak border late last night, the official said.

Three intruders were trying to sneak into Indian territory from Pakistan side, the official said.

The women constables opened fire on them to stop them from entering Indian territory, he said, adding the intruders managed to escape under the cover of darkness.
