Jammu: BSF`s claims of tight vigil
along the International Border notwithstanding, a Pakistani
national was today arrested after he apparently strayed into
the Indian territory and managed to almost reach Kathua town
in Jammu region.
The Pakistani had crossed through Tarang Nallah in this
sector and was under interrogation by police, official sources
said.
Immediately after his arrest, the Pakistani national
started talking like a mentally unsound and maintained that he
had crossed inadvertently into the Indian territory, they
said.
The sources said he may be handed back to the Pakistani
authorities after it is ascertained if he had strayed into the
Indian territory.
The incident comes in the wake of serious infiltration
bids by terrorists from across the border at various places in
the state following which the BSF had claimed a bird`s-eye
vigil along the border.
