Jaipur, Sep 4
The Border Security Force (BSF) has detained a 30-year-old man from West Bengal in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer who was allegedly trying to cross into Pakistan.
Officials confirmed that the youth, identified as Lalchand Sheikh, a resident of West Bengal's Bardhaman district, was spotted on Wednesday evening in the Pochina area, about 15 kilometres from the international border in Rajasthan, officials said on Thursday.
Security agencies remain on edge, as Jaisalmer has witnessed multiple espionage cases this year.
On March 26, Rajasthan Intelligence arrested Pathan Khan near Chandan Field Firing Range under the Official Secrets Act, just before the Pahalgam terror attack.
The security agencies have stepped up surveillance along the Pakistan border adjoining Rajasthan following Operation Sindoor.
