Pak intruder trying to enter India arrested
Pathankot: The Border Security Forces (BSF) arrested a Pakistani intruder near the International Border in Punjab's Pathankot.
On noticing suspicious movement, the alert troops acted swiftly to apprehend him ahead of the fence, when he illegally crossed the IB (International Border).
He was handed over to the Narot Jaimal Singh Police Station after preliminary questioning. In another operation on May 24, the BSF on Friday night neutralised a Pakistani intruder attempting to enter Indian territory in Banaskantha district, Gujarat. According to a statement from the security forces, the troops spotted one suspicious person advancing towards the border fence after crossing the International Border. Taking swift action, BSF challenged the intruder, but the intruder continued to advance, prompting them to open fire. The intruder was neutralised on the spot, the statement added.
Security forces have been on high alert after Pakistan committed ceasefire violations by cross-border shelling following Operation Sindoor.
India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POJK).
Earlier on Monday, the Border Security Force (BSF) showcased a range of weapons, including the 'Vidhwansak' anti-material rifle, which was used during Operation Sindoor to target Pakistani posts. The demonstration was held during a weapon exhibition at the BSF Frontier Headquarters in Jammu.
The visuals from the event showed BSF personnel demonstrating the use of the anti-material rifle (AMR), the automatic grenade launcher system, and other heavy weaponry.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 1 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on Sunday, said that the country's criminal justice system is entering a new era, underlining the importance of strong forensic institutions to ensure a secure, transparent, and evidence-based framework. Amit Shah, who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal, inaugurated the new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) at Rajarhat in Kolkata. In his address after the inauguration, Shah said, 'The Indian government is creating a secure, transparent and evidence-based criminal justice is necessary that those who stop crime should be two steps ahead of the criminals. Our criminal justice system is entering a new era.' He further pointed out that the central government in 2020 established the first National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), way before the three new criminal laws - BNS, BNSS and BSA - came into force. He highlighted that eight such institutions have already been established nationwide, with eight more planned, emphasizing that graduates from these colleges will play a vital role in strengthening the state's law and order. 'We have extended help to every state to establish a forensic van in every district. Many states have expanded their forensic labs. We had already established the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in 2020. Sixteen institutions have been approved, eight have already been established, and the remaining eight are in process. We have already completed the creation of trained human resources. I believe the new students will contribute to our law and order,' he added. 'Our duty is to ensure that every poor person can get justice as soon as possible. I believe that we will create an environment where our people will trust the law and order of the country,' the Union Minister said, stressing the priority of delivering justice to the poor at earliest. His visit comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to North Bengal, underscoring the central leadership's sustained focus on the state. Earlier, Shah had posted on X in both English and Bengali: 'Leaving for Kolkata. Tomorrow, will inaugurate the new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, which will contribute immensely to strengthening the criminal justice system in West Bengal and Northeast India.' 'In the afternoon, will interact with the Karyakartas at Vijay Sankalp Karyakarta Sammelan in Kolkata. Looking forward to attending the programmes,' he added. The visit is also expected to focus on the BJP's roadmap for West Bengal ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. (ANI)

This year, gift Dad a pizza oven Ooni Pizza Ovens Learn More Undo Reacting sharply over the Panoli's arrest, BJP co-incharge for West Bengal Amit Malviya accused the TMC government of "selectively enforcing" the law as part of its appeasement politics. "Sharmishta Panoli, just 22 years old, has been arrested and sent to 14-day judicial custody over a video she had already deleted and publicly apologised for on May 15," Malviya wrote in a post on X. Live Events There have been no reports of communal unrest linked to her remarks, yet the Kolkata police is acting with "uncharacteristic haste", he charged. "Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself has made far more divisive statements, which have had far-reaching consequences, including tragic loss of life and destruction of property on multiple occasions," he said and asked, "Will the law be applied to her with the same urgency?" "This isn't just a case in West Bengal. It reflects how a young Hindu woman is being targeted to appease a vote bank," Malviya said. Justice must not be "politically convenient", the BJP leader said, adding that "India is watching".
