Agartala, Tripura, 28th of March 2025 : On 28th March 2025, BSF successfully foiled a major narcotics smuggling attempt in the area of Border Outpost Ashabari, Sepahijala district.
At approximately 1200 hours, BSF troops on duty observed a large concentration of miscreants on both sides of the border fencing. When challenged by the troops, the miscreants adopted an aggressive posture and attempted to forcefully smuggle narcotics, outnumbering the BSF personnel.
In response, and adhering to a non-lethal strategy, the BSF party fired one round from a Pump Action Gun to disperse the miscreants, successfully thwarting the smuggling attempt. A large quantity of narcotics and other contraband items was seized.
During the incident, one miscreant from Rahimpur village reportedly sustained a pellet injury due to BSF firing. His identity is being verified.
BSF continues to maintain a strict vigil along the border to prevent smuggling and other trans-border crimes.
