A suspicious Pakistani national was gunned down by the Border Security Force (BSF) troops in RS Pura sector in Jammu and Kashmir, after he crossed the International Border early on Tuesday morning .
After crossing the border, the man took advantage of the cover of fog and reached very close to the Indian fence.
He was immediately challenged by the alert troops and once he did not pay heed to the repeated warning, he was shot down.
A search operation is being carried out and the body has been sent for identification.
Meanwhile, security forces neutralised two terrorists in an encounter today in Bandipora, Jammu and Kashmir.
The Army and the police in a joint operation had cordoned off the area to smoke out the two terrorists who were holed up and had opened fire, thus engaging in a heavy gunbattle early in the morning.
