Two Pakistani nationals questioned after Line of Control apprehensions in Poonch
Indian authorities are interrogating Rayees Khan and Mohammad Sajad, both Pakistani nationals apprehended near the Line of Control in the Poonch district. Details of their arrests and statements differ across reports.
Indian security agencies are questioning two Pakistani nationals, Rayees Khan and Mohammad Sajad, following their apprehensions near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district. Both men are reported to be under interrogation.
According to Times of India, a 31‑year‑old Pakistani national named Rayees Khan was apprehended by Jammu and Kashmir Police on Sunday after crossing the LoC into Indian territory in the Balakote sector. The report added that no incriminating material was found on him and that his arrest marked the third apprehension of a Pakistani national that month.
Accounts of Mohammad Sajad’s apprehension differ. India‑based outlets and other sources state that he was apprehended near the LoC in Poonch on Friday. In contrast, ThePrint reported that on Saturday, Army troops apprehended a 26‑year‑old infiltrator, a resident of Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir, along the LoC in the Poonch district. ThePrint also noted that Sajad is a resident of Polas village in the Abbaspur area of PoK, that he told interrogators he inadvertently crossed the LoC, and that security agencies are verifying his claims while continuing further questioning.
