On Saturday, the Indian Army detained a 17‑year‑old girl from Pakistan‑occupied Jammu and Kashmir after she crossed the Line of Control into the Nowshera sector of Rajouri district.
Army troops in the Lam sector spotted suspicious movement near the LoC during routine surveillance. They intercepted the minor, identified her as S. Azeem, daughter of Mohd Azeem from Khuiretta in PoJK, and conducted preliminary questioning.
After questioning, the army handed her over to the Nowshera police for further inquiry. She is currently being questioned by local authorities, while the army maintains contact with Pakistani counterparts through established hotlines.
People who inadvertently cross the LoC are routinely apprehended, verified, and then repatriated through designated points such as Chakan Da Bagh, Kaman Aman Setu, or Tithwal/Simari once investigations confirm the crossing was accidental.
