Upon sighting the man, BSF troops issued repeated warnings, asking him to stop.

In a late-night operation on May 23, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel neutralised a Pakistani intruder attempting to cross into Indian territory near the Banaskantha district in Gujarat. The individual was spotted advancing suspiciously toward the border fence after breaching the International Border, according to an official BSF statement.

Upon sighting the man, BSF troops issued repeated warnings, asking him to stop. However, the intruder continued to move forward, ignoring all challenges. In response, BSF personnel opened fire, neutralising him on the spot.

“The troops observed strict border surveillance and responded swiftly as per protocol. The intruder was warned, but he showed no signs of stopping, forcing our jawans to take action,” a senior BSF official confirmed.

The identity and motive of the intruder remain under investigation. Security has been heightened in the region following the incident, and BSF is working with local law enforcement agencies to ensure there is no further breach of border integrity.

The incident highlights the continued threats along India’s western border and the vigilance maintained by Indian forces to prevent any illegal or hostile entry into the country.
