ISLAMABAD, 04 October 2026 (TON): Pakistan on Saturday summoned the Indian Chargé d’Affaires to lodge strong protest over the killing of two Pakistanis civilians by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) in Bedian Sector along the International Border on 2 October 2026. BSF confirmed that they shot dead two suspected Pakistani intruders along the international border in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district.
Punjab in northern India shares a 553-km-long border with Pakistan. Tarn Taran Deputy Superintendent of Police (Bhikiwind) Atul Soni said three intruders were advancing towards the Indian side, but one later returned to Pakistan. The two others continued moving towards the Indian side despite warnings from BSF troops to turn back, Soni said.
According to a BSF sentry, the two men were also provoking the troops and saying they wanted to enter Indian territory. Resultantly, BSF opened fire, killing the two men.
However, Pakistani officials have claimed that the two were civilians, namely Azmat Rasool, son of Attaullah, and Mohsin Jutt, both residents of Jattan Wali Haveli in Ladhar who visited the border area. Accordingly, Islamabad summoned Indian diplomat over killing of two Pakistanis and lodged strong protest.
