bsf-detains-man-at-ib-in-jammu

Border Security Force (BSF) personnel detained a man in his 50s after he was found moving suspiciously in forward areas near the International Border (IB) in Jammu on Tuesday, officials said.

 

The man was spotted by a BSF patrol near the Mayan border outpost in the Makwal forward area, under the sub-sector Phallian Mandal, on Monday evening. He was taken into custody after failing to provide a satisfactory explanation for his presence in the sensitive zone.

Initial investigation suggested that the man appeared mentally challenged at the time of his arrest. However, security agencies are not ruling out any possibility and are carrying out detailed interrogation to ascertain his identity and motive.

So far, no incriminating material has been recovered from his possession during the initial search. Officials said the man was later handed over to the police for further investigation.
