A 28-year-old woman, identified as Fatima B, crossed the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district and crossed into Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), officials said today.
According to officials, Fatima B, a resident of a forward village located in Poonch’s Kearney sector, crossed the border into PoK on Sunday evening “under unclear circumstances”.
The incident has prompted the local authorities to take swift action and the police have registered a case and started an investigation into the matter.
The case is being investigated, whether she crossed the border voluntarily or forcibly,” a police official told NVI.
Unauthorized crossing of the LoC, whether by civilians or terrorists, is considered a serious security concern.
Further updates from law enforcement agencies are awaited as the investigation into Fatima B’s emissions continues.
