They reportedly crossed over into Indian territory in their personal vehicle, where alert BSF jawans immediately intercepted and took them into custody.

The BSF has informed the Pakistan Rangers regarding the incident at the Zero Line. A thorough investigation is underway to determine whether the intrusion was accidental or part of a deeper conspiracy, a senior security official stated.

Multiple security and intelligence agencies are jointly interrogating the individuals in the Amritsar sector.

Investigators are currently verifying the suspects’ claims of an inadvertent crossing to rule out any malicious intent or espionage angles.

Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
