Recent incidents of Pakistani intrusion
A series of similar infiltrations along the India-Pakistan border have come to light have reportedly come to light in recent months. In March this year, an Indian security personnel caught an elderly Pakistani national opposite BOP Bhaller in Ramgarh sector in Samba district. Interrogation revealed that he had crossed over the border inadvertently, and his repatriation process was initiated.
But another Pakistani intruder who approached the LoC on Republic Day this year was not an accidental case. The intruder, identified as Mohd Arif (61) from Lahore, aggressively ran towards the fence near Chak Majra village in Ramgarh sector, despite repeated warnings. As a result, he was neutralised by the Indian security forces.
Two separate incidents of Pakistani intrusion were also reported during the first half of the year. One of the Pakistani intruders was shot dead by the BSF in the Arnia sector while he was approaching the fence. The other intruder was arrested by the forces in the Ramgarh sector.
Pakistani drones dropping weapons and narcotics in Indian territory
Indian security forces have intensified surveillance after spotting many Pakistani drones hovering over Indian areas along the Line of Control. Last month, the Indian Army launched a search operation after the movement of Pakistani drones was sighted in different areas of Jammu and Kashmir, including Poonch, Udhampur, Kathua, and Rajouri districts.
Over the past few months, Indian security forces have caught Pakistani drones smuggling arms, ammunition, and narcotics inside Indian territory along the LoC. In July this year, a major anti-terror operation by the Delhi Police Cell led to the exposure of two Islamic terror modules linked to Pakistani gangster Shahzad Bhatti. One of the terror modules was smuggling weapons into India through Pakistani drones. The police arrested six jihadis who were planning a terror attack in Delhi.
In November 2025, the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch busted an ISI-linked international arms smuggling racket. The gang was also smuggling high-end foreign firearms and ammunition, including the Turkish-made PX-5.7 Pistol and Chinese-made PX-3 Pistol, to India using drones from Pakistan.
The use of drones by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to smuggle weapons and narcotics into India is not new. In 2019, the then Punjab Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, had flagged Pakistani activities along the border. He has urged Home Minister Amit Shah to take action to thwart Pakistan’s nefarious plans.
