Video: Pak terrorists try to sneak into India, BSF foils infiltration bid

The Infiltration bid was foiled by the Border Security Force on October 29-30 in Hiranagar sector.

Jammu: Pakistani terrorists were caught on camera trying to infiltrate into India from across the Line of Control and then returning to Pakistan.

The Infiltration bid was foiled by the Border Security Force on October 29-30 in Hiranagar sector in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Army, which has shored up its defences along the LoC, has foiled several infiltration bids last month.

Technical surveillance was being maintained, besides using illuminators to prevent the militants, who could be present, from escaping under the cover of darkness.

The Army repulsed infiltration bids, raining bullets on the militants and forcing them to return to PoK.

Recently, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval had briefed the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) that Pakistani army has mobilised about 100 terrorists across the LoC to push them into India to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

At the meeting, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was stated that the Pakistani army was planning attacks by terrorists on Indian defence personnel and security establishments besides select civilian targets in the wake of September 29 surgical strikes.

According to the assessment given by Doval, nearly 100 terrorists were readying to infiltrate India from unconventional launch pads.

Indian Army had carried out surgical strikes on September 29, crossing over the LoC in Kupwara sector in the Kashmir Valley and Poonch in Jammu region and smashing launch pads meant for terrorists.

It was believed that nearly a dozen terrorists were killed in Kel, Lipa and Bhimber Gali and given a quiet burial.

Personnel from three divisions of the Army were involved in the surgical strikes and, before the operation, the army teams ensured that they cut off the possibility of any reinforcements from Pakistani army, sources said.
