Jammu, Dec 12
A Pakistani intruder was arrested near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said on Thursday.
The officials said the intruder from the Pakistan side was apprehended by the Army near the LoC on Wednesday.
The intruder was identified as 18-year-old Mohd Sadiq.
"He was trying to sneak into the Indian side of the LoC when he was caught in Noorkote village near the border fence in Poonch," said the officials.
“He was not carrying any weapon or incriminating material. He is being questioned about his motive to cross the LoC. It appears he might have crossed the LoC inadvertently,” the officials said.
The Army and the security forces have heightened vigil along the LoC and the hinterland, especially after the terrorists carried out some dastardly attacks at the behest of their handlers sitting across the border.
