The woman, aged 35, was shot dead Tuesday morning when she kept on marching towards a BSF patrol despite repeatedly asked by the border guards to surrender, Border Security Force officials said here today.
The woman, with her face covered, illegally entered the Indian territory in Anjnala sector across river Ravi, they said.
Pakistani Rangers were informed about the incident and they expressed their willingness to accept the body.
But, they later declined to accept the body without assigning any reason, the officials said.
An autopsy on the body had been conducted.
Her last rites would be performed as per Muslim rituals by the Punjab Police.
