The Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday recovered the body of a militant killed after an infiltration bid was foiled in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

“The body of the intruder, who was killed in firing by the BSF near Karol Mathura border outpost in Hiranagar sector, has been recovered,” a senior police officer told IANS in Jammu.

“Nothing was recovered from the body,” he said.

On Monday, the BSF foiled an infiltration bid after a group of intruders were forced to withdraw into Pakistan.

While the Indian Army guards the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, the international border in the State is guarded by the BSF.
