SRINAGAR: A 12-year-old Pakistani boy was arrested by the Indian army after he mistakenly crossed the Line of Control in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district.
The Indian army alleged that the child, Ashfaq Ali Chauhan, was sent for spying by the Pakistan Army.
On May 4, Indian forces cordoned off more than 20 villages in Shopian district of Occupied Kashmir, in the wake of a surge in rebel attacks on the occupying forces in recent weeks.
According to NDTV, more than 3,000 personnel of the Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force and Jammu and Kashmir police were involved in the search operation launched early Thursday morning.
“Over 30 companies of Indian forces have besieged villages in Shopian since 3 am looking for armed fighters,” IoK local Faysal tweeted.
