Pak youth apprehended from Indo-Pak border in Kutch desert

A Pakistani youth has been apprehended at Indo-Pak border in the Kutch desert by the Border Security Force (BSF), BSF officials said in Kutch today.

The 22-year-old youth was apprehended near the Border Pillar 1111 by the BSF patrolling unit yesterday, they said.

"He is being interrogated by the BSF officials," BSF IG AK Sinha told PTI adding that nothing suspicious has been found from him.

In the month of July and August, there were similar attempts of infiltration on the Indo-Pak land border in the Kutch desert.

The BSF had apprehended two Pakistani men in two separate incidents and handed them to local police for interrogation. Nothing suspicious was found from them too.

BSF in Gujarat has been very active and has been successful in stalling number of attempts by Pakistani men to infiltrate into India through the desert as well as the creek area on western coast of Gujarat.
