Jaipur: The Border Security Forces (BSF) in  Sri Ganganagar district  Rajasthan on Wednesday shot a Pakistani intruder  when he was attempting  to cross over to Indian territory near a village in the Kesarisinghpur area. 

The Senior Superintendent of Police of the district  Gaurav Yadav confirmed this incident and said that the intruder was identified as Abdul Gaffar, a 33-year-old resident of Minchinabad, Pakistan.

The police have  recovered a cash of  Pakistani Rupees 1,700 (around Rs 518) from his pocket. 

Yadav told media the body of the intruder has been handed over to Kesarisinghpur police after Pakistan refused to take his body in the flag meeting. The name of the intruder is written as Abdul Gaffar on the identity card found with him. He is a resident of Minchinabad. His age is mentioned as 33 years.

The police officer asserted that the BSF personnel had reportedly warned the intruder as he approached a border pillar, but he ignored the warnings, prompting the BSF troopers to open fire.

Items recovered from him included Pakistani currencies, a cigarette packet, and other belongings.

Despite a flag meeting, Pakistani authorities refused to claim the body, which has since been handed over to the Kesarisinghpur police.
