A tense search operation is underway in the Hiranagar border area of Kathua district, Jammu and Kashmir, after a villager reported a chilling encounter with two suspicious individuals late Tuesday night. The alert triggered a swift response from security forces, who have descended on the region in a bid to track down the elusive figures.

Hiranagar, nestled along the sensitive International Border (IB), is no stranger to high-stakes encounters. According to officials, the two suspects allegedly approached a local in the Kandi area, asking for directions to an unknown location, raising immediate red flags.
