Four persons have been apprehended for allegedly jumping over the perimeter wall of the highly secure and sensitive National Security Guard camp here, putting the security apparatus into a tizzy which led to firing of a few rounds.
Officials said the incident occurred at about 8:30 PM yesterday when about four suspected cattle smugglers jumped over the perimeter wall of the National Security Guard (NSG) garrison and were confronted by a sentry on duty.
The NSG sentry fired a round in the air to challenge the intruders, even as they were being chased by local police and civilians after they broke a police barrier while trying to smuggle out some cattle from the Manesar area here.
An exchange of fire also took place between the suspected smugglers and local police before they entered the commando forces' camp, they said.
The NSG, the sources said, has filed an FIR with the police with regard to the incident, even as they said the intruders who entered the garrison were rounded up and apprehended by police.

ACP-PRO Manish Sehgal said, "During a routine checking of vehicles after barricading Manesar road near NSG campus, police stopped a mini-truck. The team found two cows being smuggled in it. The four accused started to run after being questioned and jumped inside the campus after scaling a wall."
The NSG sentry on duty heard three rounds of firing, police said.
