POONCH: An intruder, who crossed over from PoK, was on Monday arrested after being injured in firing along the Line of Control in Poonch district
The intruder crossed into this side of LoC from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in Rangard Nallah in Chakan-Da-Bagh belt of Poonch, army sources said.
He was challenged by alert army personnel and tried to run back, they said, adding that troops fired at him resulting in minor injuries.
He was later arrested, they added.
He was identified as Mohmmad Nadeem of Abbaspur belt of PoK and is being questioned, the sources said.
The arrested Pakistani national has suffered minor injuries and has been administered first-aid and is in the process of being handed over to the local police authorities. He will be interrogated by intelligence agencies following which further details are likely to emerge. Last month, on November 22nd, the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel foiled an infiltration bid along the International Border and shot down a suspicious Pakistani national in RS Pura Sector of Jammu district, after he crossed the border.
“Around 0418 hours, alert troops foiled an Infiltration bid in R S Pura Sector and also gunned down a Pakistani intruder, who seems to be guiding militants waiting across the border,” according to Manoj Yadav Jammu-based BSF spokesperson.
