Six Pakistani citizens along with four local residents were detained for allegedly entering into restricted areas in Rajasthan's Barmer, police said on Thursday.
"Four Pakistanis were detained from Chohtan area while two were detained from Gadraroad area yesterday. Both the areas are restricted for any movement and lie close to Indo-Pak border," Superintendent of Police Barmer Gagandeep Singla said.
He said they could not give a satisfactory answer for their presence in these areas.
Four local men, who are hosts to six Pakistanis', were also picked up and all 10 people are being interrogated jointly by intelligence agencies, Mr Singla said.
The Pakistani nationals have been identified as Aladeen, Naseeba, Mohammad Rahis, Kamardeen, Sacchu and Jameela.

They arrived in Barmer two-three days ago and were planning to go to Ajmer after spending few days here, he said.
