Jammu: A Pakistani spy was arrested in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba sector yesterday. Two Pakistani SIM cards and a map showing the deployment of security forces were recovered from him, authorities have said.
Bodhraj, a resident of Arnia in Jammu district, is being interrogated by security forces to find out if he is part of larger espionage network, police sources said.
Earlier in August, a spy from Pakistan was arrested in Rajasthan. He had maps of the border areas and photographs.
The arrest came on a day when seven Pakistani Rangers or paramilitary soldiers were killed by the Border Security Force or BSF along the International Border in Hiranagar sector in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has denied any casualties.
The strike was in response to Pakistan's targeting of BSF posts from across the border since Wednesday night. A BSF constable named Gurnam Singh was hit by Pakistani fire on Friday.
After 19 soldiers were killed at an army base in Uri in Kashmir last month, Indian forces crossed the Line of Control to target staging areas for terrorists. Pakistan has denied the cross-border raids which came after PM Narendra Modi launched a global campaign to diplomatically isolate Pakistan.
Since the surgical strikes in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, cross-border firing has been increased substantially by Pakistan.
