123 Kolkata: A female constable posted at Malda's Kutadaha with BSF South Bengal Frontier on Wednesday foiled attempts by six alleged smugglers to enter India after firing in the air.
According to BSF, early on Jan 29, the constable was on duty when she saw six persons armed with sharp-edged weapons advancing towards the border fence from the Bangladesh side. She alerted her colleagues and warned the approaching individuals. Despite her warning, the smugglers continued to move forward aggressively.
She then ran towards the smugglers and warned them for the second time but to no avail. The constable then fired one round from her weapon, which led the smugglers to flee, said a BSF spokesperson.
A search of the area was carried out but no suspicious object was found. A police complaint was lodged in this regard.
