RS Pura (Jammu and Kashmir): Panic gripped the RS Pura on Saturday after a Pakistani national was apprehended from a village near International Border in Jammu and Kashmir.

The man, who identified himself as Waseem from Pakistan’s Sialkot, was found sitting in a house in Chandu Pura village, 35 km far from Jammu.

“I saw an unknown man sitting in my home. I asked him who he was and where did he come from? He identified himself as Waseem. I raised an alarm and he was nabbed by my family members,” said Asha Devi in whose house the man was found.

The 22-year-old man was later handed over to the police.
