| Poor Muhammad. He was pro'ly a rag trader. A simple rag trader. A heavily-armed, simple rag trader, infiltrating the border. Dastardly Indians, killing a rag trader. |
Meanwhile, the BSF also opened unprovoked fire using heavy weapons at the Sialkot working boundary. According to the details from the Shakargarh sector, the Indian BSF started firing around midnight that continued for two to three hours.
