However, he was stopped before the transfer could take place.
In a second operation later the same day, BSF jawans from the 115th Battalion at the Boyraghat Border Outpost in Malda conducted a search at Boltala Ghat based on similar intelligence. A suspicious motorcyclist was seen approaching the area, but upon noticing the BSF personnel, the individual abandoned the motorcycle and fled the scene.
