Pakistan summoned the Indian ambassador on Saturday to protest the killing of two unarmed civilians by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel near the international border. The victims, Azmat Rasool and Mohsin Jutt, both residents of Ladhar village, were martyred after being shot by the BSF in the Bedian sector on Friday. Another civilian was injured during the exchange of fire.
The Foreign Office condemned the unprovoked and disproportionate use of force, calling it a serious violation of human rights. Pakistan demanded an immediate, transparent investigation and appropriate action against those responsible. Indian authorities were urged to respect human rights, follow bilateral agreements, and prevent future incidents.
The incident occurred in Kasur, where three unarmed civilians had moved a few steps past a border pillar when the BSF opened fire without warning.
