Security forces apprehended a 26-year-old infiltrator, a resident of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, along the LoC in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials confirmed on Saturday.

 

Mohammad Sajad was taken into custody after entering the Indian side from across the border through the Gulpur area of the Krishna Ghati sector on Friday, the officials said.

 

Officials said preliminary questioning revealed that the apprehended individual was a resident of Polas village in the Abbaspur area of PoK.

 

He reportedly informed interrogators that he had accidentally crossed the LoC and entered the Indian side, they said.

 

Security agencies are, however, verifying his claims and conducting further questioning to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his crossing, the officials said.
