Pakistani spy arrested in Indian-controled Kashmir

Xinhua, October 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

The Indian authorities on Saturday claimed to have arrested a Pakistani spy from Indian-controled Kashmir Friday.

"The Pakistani spy, identified as Bodhraj, was arrested from the northern state's Samba sector. Two Pakistani mobile SIM cards and a map showing the deployment of Indian security forces have been recovered from his possession," a senior police official said.

Indian security forces are currently interrogating him to determine if he is part of a larger espionage ring, the official said.

The arrest came hours after Indian border guards claimed to have gunned down seven Pakistani Rangers along the international border in the northern state in retaliatory firing, in which one Indian security forces personnel also sustained injuries.

The pakistani side has not made any comment on it. Endit
