Pakistani smuggler shot dead along border in Amritsar

A Pakistani smuggler who crossed over to India with around 22 kgs of heroin was shot dead along the International Border (IB) in Amritsar in a joint operation of the Punjab police and the BSF, officials said. They said there was specific information about the movement of Pakistani smugglers toward the Indian territory with a consignment of drugs.

Police's actions
The smuggler was shot dead in the return firing

Acting on the input, the Punjab police team led by SSP Dhruv Dahiya along with Border Security Force (BSF) troops launched a joint operation at the Kakkar border outpost. During the operation, the movement of a Pakistani smuggler was noticed. The smuggler fired at the Indian troops and was shot dead when they returned the fire, a senior police official said.

Items recovered
Two AK 47 rifles, four magazines, one phone also recovered

A comprehensive search operation was launched on the spot at the Indo-Pak border of the Indian side. The troops at the border seized 22 packets of heroin, weighing a total of about 22 kilograms, two AK 47 assault rifles, four magazines, one mobile phone with a Pakistani SIM card, besides Rs. 210 in Pakistani currency, police said.

Further details
Investigation on to understand the purpose of the seized consignment

During preliminary investigation, it was found that the smuggler was known to his two Indian counterparts who were residents of Gurdaspur district and were presently in Belgium and allegedly involved in anti-India activities at the behest of Pakistan's ISI agency, the SSP said. Police said the investigation is in progress to reveal the exact purpose for which the seized consignment was being smuggled.
