Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan – In a significant development along the India-Pakistan border, the Border Security Force (BSF) has apprehended a Pakistani Ranger attempting to infiltrate into Indian territory near Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan.
According to security sources, the individual was spotted crossing the International Border (IB) under suspicious circumstances. BSF personnel swiftly responded, detaining the ranger before he could advance further into Indian soil. Preliminary reports indicate that the individual was unarmed and did not resist arrest.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives. Security agencies are treating the arrest with utmost seriousness, investigating whether it was an isolated incident or part of a larger operation.
Following the arrest, a high alert has been declared across the Sri Ganganagar sector, with additional forces deployed and intensified patrolling, particularly during nighttime hours.
Authorities have yet to disclose the identity of the detained ranger, and interrogation is currently underway to determine the motive behind the infiltration attempt.
Diplomatic channels are expected to be activated soon to address the matter with Pakistani authorities. If proven to be a deliberate act of violation, India may formally lodge a protest.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
