Pakistani Woman Arrested Crossing LoC
A 35-year-old woman named Shehnaz Akhtar from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) was caught trying to cross the Line of Control (LoC) into India.
She was stopped by the Indian Army in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
She lived near a Pakistan Army post and was given money and food before trying to cross.
The Indian Army is now asking her questions to find out why she tried to cross and if she has any connections to a terrorist group called Jaish-e-Mohammed.
They are also checking if she is part of a group of women who joined this terrorist group.
A 35-year-old Pakistani woman, Shehnaz Akhtar, was arrested while attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir.
She was apprehended near the LoC in the Mendhar sub-division after being detected by Army surveillance devices.
Initial findings suggest she stayed close to a Pakistan Army post in PoK and was given Rs 1,000 before attempting to cross.
Intelligence agencies are investigating her possible link to the women's wing of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed.
She is currently being questioned by a joint team of the Indian Army and police to determine her motive and background.
