"At about 1050 hrs, some suspicious movement was observed by BSF personnel ahead of border security fence in the area of responsibility of Border Out Post, Bharopal, Ex-138Bn BSF, Amritsar sector.
"BSF troops challenged the suspicious Pak smugglers to stop, but they continued with their aggressive posture. To stop their misadventure further, BSF troops opened fire on them, but the Pak smugglers managed to escape taking cover of dense fog," BSF officials said.
