The Border Security Force (BSF) had foiled an infiltration attempt by a group of militants who fired at Indian positions in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramgarh sector in an attempt to sneak in, a senior official said Tuesday.
"It appeared to be an infiltration bid and we have effectively foiled it. The situation is now under control," said BSF Inspector General, Jammu frontier, A.K. Saroolia.
Police, BSF and army personnel are conducting extensive searches in the area to find if anyone succeeded in infiltrating into India.
In other similar incidents, a BSF soldier was killed and two injured in firing on a post at the Line of Control (LOC), which divides Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan, in Poonch district Saturday. Last month, a deputy inspector general of BSF was killed in a landmine explosion in the Ramgarh sector when he had gone to assess the situation after firing and an infiltration attempt by militants.
