The recent terror attack on the IAF's Pathankot base has exposed chinks in the country's security armour. Former Border Security Force (BSF) DG and security adviser EN Rammohan on Thursday told India Today Television that corrupt BSF officials are hand-in-glove with drug rackets active in Punjab and they helped the Pakistani terrorists sneak into India from the border with Pakistan.
Rammohan on Thursday made damning charges on the alleged mishandling of intelligence reports and lapses on part of the BSF while the paramilitary force zeroes in on two intrusion theories - a tunnel on the Punjab border and Kashmir route.

Rammohan said heroin smugglers from Pakistan bribe BSF and the recent terror attack on our air base is the result of the alleged drug cartel-terrorism nexus.
"There is money in this. And, a small percentage of BSF officials are involved in this," Rammohan told India Today Television.
"Money can buy the personnel of BSF on the ground. There are cases where officers have succumbed to temptation of money. It is not only that the politicians are corrupt... There is no shortage of equipment, no shortage of thermal imagers, no shortage of personnel, nothing," Rammohan added.

However, the BSF rejected Rammohan's smuggling theory and made it clear that it did not find any breach anywhere in the fence in 20-km stretch of border. The paramilitary force, which will submit the internal probe report on Pathankot terror attack within a fortnight, also rejected that some corrupt officials inside the security force helped the terrorists to sneak into Indian territory.
BSF speculates, the terrorists might have used a tunnel on the Punjab border to sneak into India or have come all the way from Jammu and Kashmir to launch a Fidayeen attack on the IAF base in Pathankot, Punjab.
