RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Rangers Troops deployed along the international border with India have apprehended six Indian nationals inside Pakistani territory from July 29 to August 3, 2023, said the media wing of the military on Tuesday.
“These smugglers/ criminals were trying to smuggle narcotics, weapons and ammunition into Pakistan,” said the ISPR in a statement. It is surprising that these smugglers crossed the heavily-fenced border under perpetual surveillance of the Indian BSF. It shows likely complicity of the BSF troops in narco and weapons smuggling. In addition, it is also surprising that Indian BSF troops have so far failed to report six missing citizens.
Four of these smugglers, namely Gurmeej son of Guldeep Singh, Shinder Singh son of Bhora Singh, Juginder Singh son of Thakur Singh and Vishal son of Jagga belong to Ferozpur, Rattan Pal Singh son of Mahinder Singh belongs to Jalandhar and Garvender Singh son of Mukhtiar Singh belongs to Ludhiana, according to the ISPR.
These Indian smugglers will be dealt as per law of the land for illegally entering into Pakistan and indulging in nefarious activities.
Security forces of Pakistan will continue to maintain vigil and expect that Indian BSF will act professionally and sever their ties with smuggling rackets operating from their territory, the ISPR concluded.
