BSF apprehends Pakistani national near India-Pakistan border in Kutch district, launches special operations ahead of Republic Day.
A Pakistani national was apprehended near the India-Pakistan border in Gujarat's Kutch district on Sunday (January 26, 2025), the Border Security Force (BSF) said.
The BSF troops sensed suspicious activities near the border fencing in Kutch in the wee hours of Sunday.
The troops searched the surrounding area and apprehended a Pakistani national, identified as Khawar, resident of Badin district in Sindh province of the neighbouring country, the BSF said in a statement.
"In view of the Republic Day (on Sunday), the BSF has launched special operations along the international border," it said.
The latest action comes nearly two weeks after the BSF similarly apprehended a Pakistani national while trying to enter India from an area north of Harami Nala along the international border in Kutch district.
