Nagpur Woman Faces Custody Hearing Over Border Crossing
A woman from Nagpur, Sunita, crossed into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and was detained.
After being returned, authorities are investigating her.
She was trying to meet contacts in Pakistan, including a person named Zulfikar and a pastor.
Since she arrived in Nagpur late, a special court session was arranged to decide if she could be held.
The police want to know why she crossed the border and if she was involved in espionage.
Sunita had previously tried to cross the border, and was detained previously.
Sunita Jamgade, a Nagpur woman, is facing a custody hearing in Nagpur after midnight.
She was handed over to Nagpur police by Amritsar rural police.
Sunita crossed the LoC from Kargil on May 14 to meet contacts in Pakistan.
The hearing is necessary due to legal restrictions on detaining women outside daylight hours.
Authorities are investigating potential motives, including espionage.
