The Border Security Force shot down one infiltrator suspected to be from Pakistan in Tash village in the Pathankot district on Thursday morning. Three infiltrators are suspected to have tried to enter into India taking the advantage of fog.
While one was shot dead, two others managed to escape to Pakistan.
The body of the one who has been shot dead is on the Pakistani side of the border.
According to sources, there are constant efforts being made to push through infiltrators into India taking advantage of the fog.
BSF has stepped up security at the border. Within Punjab, too, road blocks have been placed to avert any incidents of infiltration.
The incident comes just days after an attack on the Air Force base in Pathankot in Punjab on January 2. Seven security personnel and six terrorists had been killed in the attack.
