Ten packets of heroin were seized from the man, said a Border Security Force official on Thursday.
BSF personnel observed suspicious movement of two persons along the border.
“On being challenged by our own troops, the sound of weapons being cocked was heard,” said the official.
Apprehending danger, the BSF troops opened fire in self-defence, resulting in one of the persons getting shot in his left shoulder.
