Why did Pakistanis come so deep into the Indian border?
The investigation will find out why these people had come so deep into the Indian border. Is this just a matter related to fishing, or was their aim to supply narcotics through boats? Often Pakistani smugglers bring packets of narcotics hidden under fishing nets, these are used to spread narco terrorism.
