Pakistani intruder arrested along International Border in Jammu
Jammu (PTI): A Pakistani intruder was arrested along the International Border here by the Border Security Force (BSF) in the early hours of Saturday, officials said.
BSF personnel picked up on the movement of Mohd Shabad (45), a resident of Sialkot, while he was trying to sneak into the Arnia sector from across the border, they said.
They fired a few warning shots and took the man into custody, the officials said, adding that no incriminating material was found in his possession.
On August 25, the BSF foiled a major smuggling attempt when its troops seized eight kg of suspected heroin from a Pakistani intruder along the IB in Samba district.
The intruder was shot at and injured, but he managed to crawl back to the Pakistani side.

FIR to be filed against BJP Min. Vijay Shah over remarks on Colonel Sophia Qureshi: G Parameshwara
Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara on Thursday said that an FIR will be registered against Madhya Pradesh BJP Minister Vijay Shah for his alleged controversial remarks about Colonel Sophia Qureshi. He also stated that legal proceedings will be reviewed in this regard.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday, he said, “Colonel Sophia Qureshi is the daughter-in-law of Belagavi. I have instructed the Belagavi SP to lodge an FIR against the minister who made controversial statements about Colonel Sophia Qureshi and inform the central government about the action to be taken against him.”
Expressing displeasure over the Minister’s remarks, Parameshwara noted that the BJP leader's statement is not just an insult to Colonel Qureshi, and that it is an insult to the entire country. He said, no one should harbour such a narrow-minded outlook.
Also addressing the issue of pending funds from the union government, Parameshwara said, “However, due to various reasons, the funds have either been delayed or withheld. The Chief Minister has convened a meeting on the matter and has urged state MPs to press the central government for the immediate release of the funds.”
He also announced that the state government will be organizing a large-scale event on May 20 in Hospet, Vijayanagar district. “In this government programme, the Revenue Department will distribute property certificates to over 50,000 beneficiaries. The event will be attended by Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, Rajya Sabha Opposition Leader and AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, and senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala,” he added.
