Tarn Taran (Punjab) [India], Aug 22 (ANI): One AK-47 semi-automatic rifle and two pistols have been recovered so far in the ongoing search operation by the Border Security Force (BSF) in Tarn Taran, Punjab on Saturday.
"BSF troops have recovered 1 AK 47 and 2 pistols, during search operation in Tarn Taran, Punjab. Search operation still underway," the BSF said.
The search operation was launched after five intruders, who were violating International Border (IB) and were trying to enter India from Pakistan today morning, were shot dead.
According to BSF, jawans deployed at the border spotted suspicious movement, and their repeated attempts to dissuade the intruders were met with firing.
