BSF officials said the Pakistan Rangers resorted to “unprovoked firing” along the international border around 12:20 a.m. along the IB at Samba.
“The Pakistan Rangers started firing at the Narayanpur post in Ramgarh, Samba. The BSF also retaliated and the firing between the two sides continued for some time,” the officials said.
Head Constable Lalfamkima of 148 Battalion succumbed to his injuries.
This is the third ceasefire violation along the IB in Jammu since October 17 this year. Four BSF jawans and two civilians were injured in these violations.
