Police said that this was the second infiltration attempt in the Samba sector in the past fortnight. Earlier, an intruder was shot dead by BSF along the IB in the same sector on May 5.

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday late evening foiled an infiltration bid in Jammu and Kashmir and arrested a Pakistani intruder in the Banglaid area of Samba district.

BSF sources said the Pakistani national was apprehended in an injured condition while he was trying to sneak into the Indian side.

"The intruder was challenged after which the troopers fired shots resulting in injury to the intruder.

"He was treated at the BSF dispensary and later handed over to police," sources said.

On May 5, another infiltration attempt was foiled in the same sector when alert troops of the BSF shot dead an intruder.
