The Border Security Force (BSF) has tightened security after the incidence of illegal crossing into India has risen.
A Pakistani "intruder" was arrested while crossing the border to enter India through Punjab state, a Border Security Force (BSF) spokesman told Indian media on Friday.
During the night of 9-10 March, the intruder entered India from the Tirath border post in Punjab's Ferozepur sector, the official revealed. After being asked where he lived, the interloper told the officers that he was a resident of the Khyber district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
