Amritsar: An unexploded rocket shell was found in fields of an Indian border village near here late Saturday evening - a day after three rockets from Pakistan exploded in this Punjab district, an official said.
"There is a possibility that this rocket, which landed in the fields of Pul Kanjari village, was fired from the Pakistan side on Saturday morning. It left undetected because it did not explode," said the senior official of Border Security Force (BSF).
Three rockets, fired in quick succession from Pakistan, exploded near a village in this district Friday night. It also triggered a retaliatory gunfire by BSF.
BSF officials also lodged a formal protest with the Pakistan Rangers.
However, Pakistan authorities denied that rockets were fired from their side and maintained that they will investigate the matter.
