  "account": "Pakistan summoned the Indian Chargé d'Affaires on Saturday to protest the killing of two people by India's Border Security Force (BSF) the previous day. The BSF troops claimed they had shot dead two suspected Pakistani intruders along the International Border in Punjab's Tarn Taran district on Friday. However, Pakistani officials argue that the deceased were civilians who inadvertently crossed the border. The incident occurred around noon, and three intruders were advancing towards the Indian side when one of them returned to Pakistan. The other two continued moving towards the Indian side despite warnings from BSF troops. BSF officials stated that the two men were also provoking the troops and expressing a desire to enter Indian territory. Subsequently, the BSF opened fire, killing the two men. Pakistani authorities claim the two deceased were civilians visiting the border, while India denies this. The Pakistani Foreign Office expressed strong protest over the incident, calling it a serious violation of human rights and demanding an immediate, transparent, and credible investigation into the matter.",
