Two bombs hurled from Pakistani side; youth injured

Amritsar, July 5 (PTI) A youth was injured at a village
on the Indo-Pak border, few yards away from Attari check post,
when two bombs were hurled into the Indian side from the
Pakistani territory.

Confirming the incident, a senior BSF official said, "the
incident happened last night around 10 p.m. when two powerful
bombs were thrown into the Indian side which fell in an
agricultural field in Dandey village near the Attari border".

Tension gripped the residents of the village who spent a
sleepless night and did not venture out of their houses due to
fear, the official said.

Dilbagh Singh (24), hailing from the village, was injured
in the incident, the official said, adding a heavy contingent
of army and BSF was monitoring the situation since Saturday
night.

Various army teams were already on the spot to gather the
splinters of two bombs that exploded Saturday night and
ascertain the material used in the explosives, which had
created a deafening sound after they were thrown into the
Indian side.

In another incident, a 22-year-old Pakistani intruder was
shot dead after he crossed over to the Indian side near the
Attari Check Post at Rorawali village, ignoring repeated
warnings from the BSF. PTI CORR
