With a brief exchange of fire, the intruders hastily fled back.

Troops involved in the operation reported that there were three intruders with some head-load, two pistols and a plastic pipe.

With the BSF retaliation of fire, one of the intruders got injured but his accomplices took him back across the India-Pakistan Border.

The area has been cordoned off and a search is still in progress.

Furthers details are awaited.
