Hassam Khan, caught in Jaisalmer city last month, did not enter India through Shahgarh bulge border. He actually came to Atari railway station through Samjhauta Express on April 3 with a fake passport from Pakistan. This disclosure was made on Friday at the press conference by IG Anil Paliwal of BSF Rajasthan frontier. Hassam Khan, a resident of Jaisalmer's Siyalon ki Basti, had gone to Pakistan 27 years ago by crossing the border and he was caught in Jaisalmer city on October 9. In a joint inquiry by the agencies, he had narrated the story of giving five thousand rupees to an agent from across the border and entering India through Shahgarh bulge border.

While BSF was claiming that it is not possible to infiltrate due to strict vigilance on the border nor did they found anyone’s footprints there. When BSF investigated the matter, it came to know that he did not enter through this border. In this connection, they went through the CCTV cameras located at Munabao railway station and Attari railway station and the passengers coming from Pakistan were matched with it. It was then found that Hassam came to India on April 3 by a fake name and a passport made from Pakistan. He gave the address of a family of Shergarh but instead of going there, he returned to his house in Jaisalmer.  His son and other family members live here.  He went to Pakistan to meet his sister and settled there. He went to Pakistan when there was no fencing in that area.
