Pakistan summons Indian acting ambassador, alleges death of two civilians by BSF

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has said in a post on social media X that it has summoned the Indian acting ambassador.

It has been claimed in this post that on October 2, 2026, Indian Border Security Force (BAF) soldiers have killed two Pakistani citizens in Bedian sector on the international border.

The Indian acting Ambassador to Pakistan has been summoned to register protest over this incident.

At the same time, Punjab Police in India says that Border Security Force (BSF) has killed two Pakistani infiltrators in Tarn Taran.

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry has alleged that BSF personnel used lethal force against unarmed civilians without provocation.

The ministry wrote, "Such use of force was completely unjustified and highly disproportionate, resulting in the tragic deaths of two people. Pakistan vehemently rejects any attempt to attribute the deceased to 'infiltrators'."

According to the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, "It was underlined that this incident is a serious violation of fundamental human rights, including the right to life, and raises serious concerns about the protection of lives of civilians under international law."

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry, through an Indian diplomat, has requested India to conduct an immediate, transparent and credible investigation into this incident.

"It is urged to take appropriate disciplinary and legal action against those found responsible, and to officially report to the Government of Pakistan the findings of the investigation and the actions taken," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry statement said.

According to him, "India was also urged to ensure respect for fundamental human rights and international law, and strictly adhere to relevant bilateral arrangements and established border procedures."

Pakistan asked India to exercise maximum restraint in dealing with such situations and take effective steps to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.

Punjab Police had said on Friday that BSF had killed two infiltrators in Rajoke village near the India-Pakistan international border.

Bhikhiwind DSP Atul Soni said, "BOP (Border Out Post) Rajoke comes under Khalda police station, where the firing incident was reported."

"We reached the spot and found that there was an exchange of fire between BSF soldiers and three Pakistani nationals aged 25-26 years. One man managed to return back (to Pakistan), while according to the BSF sentry, they (Pakistani nationals) repeatedly provoked the soldiers by saying that they wanted to enter India."

The DSP said, "The sentry explained to them that this was the Indian border and they would have to return. They went to the fields and lay down there. Despite repeated requests, they refused to leave. After this, the BSF jawans informed their superiors and opened fire."

"Hearing the sound of firing, all three of them started running back towards Pakistan and two of them died on the spot due to bullet injuries. A senior BSF officer reached the spot and tried to find out the identity of those killed."

News agency ANI quoted officials as saying on Friday, "The Border Security Force today killed two Pakistani infiltrators who were trying to enter Indian territory by crossing the International Border. They were trying to enter the Tarn Taran area of ​​Punjab at around 12 noon."

According to BBC Urdu, Pakistani state media has identified the two dead civilians as Azmat Rasool and Mohsin Jatt.

Pakistani state media, citing security sources, also claimed that Indian media also continued the 'false campaign' of Indian security forces, in which innocent civilians were portrayed as infiltrators.

"In fact, none of the three men tried to cross the border fence," Pakistani media claimed, quoting security sources.
