Pakistani boat found in Sutlej: Suspicious boat found in Sutlej, just 50 km from where Modi's convoy was trapped; investigative agencies alert

The Border Security Force (BSF) has recovered a Pakistani boat from the Sutlej river in Firozpur. The boat was empty at the time of recovery. Security agencies have started an investigation. It is being ascertained when this boat came here, who was on board and what was the purpose of bringing it here.

The recovery of this Pakistani boat is important because Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy was stuck here two days ago. The issue of lapse in their security has become a matter of national debate.

BSF started search operation

The BSF has started the search operation after the Pakistani boat was found in the Sutlej river. In this, BSF teams are scouting the surrounding areas. The apprehension is being expressed that some person may not have come aboard in it. However, so far nothing has happened.

Do not try to send drugs and weapons

If sources are to be believed, it is also being linked to an attempt to send drugs and weapons through Pakistan. Since drones coming from Pakistan are now on target of security agencies. Notably, the range of BSF in Punjab has also been increased to 50 km. In such a situation, apart from the drone, nothing objectionable was sent by boat, this angle is also being investigated. BSF is looking in the surrounding areas to see if there are any footprints. Earlier in 2018 also a similar boat has been found.

Center's high-level inquiry committee today in this district

The Pakistani boat has been recovered on such an occasion when the High-Level Committee of the Central Government has reached Ferozepur to investigate the lapse in the security of the PM. In this, Security Secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs Sudhir Kumar, Joint Director of IB Balbir Singh, and IG of SPG S. Suresh are included.

Firozpur is the sensitive district

Firozpur is a very sensitive district due to its proximity to the Pakistan border. The place where the PM's convoy had stopped is also just 50 km away from the Pakistan border. Tiffin bombs and explosives have been found many times in this area. Even before Diwali in November, police had recovered tiffin bombs from a village on the Indo-Pak border. Hand grenades have also been recovered from here.
