Overview

  • Indian forces have detained three Pakistani nationals in separate incidents over the past three days, including one along the LoC in Poonch on May 6.
  • Husnain, a 24-year-old from Gujranwala, was apprehended by BSF troops on May 5 near Thakarpur in Punjab's Gurdaspur district; he reportedly crossed the border unintentionally.
  • Initial investigations into Husnain found no links to espionage or terrorism, and he has been handed over to Punjab Police for further questioning.
  • The detentions come as India reinforces border security after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, and amid ongoing cross-border firing incidents.
  • Authorities are reviewing border security protocols to address operational challenges posed by unclear demarcation lines and prevent future intrusions.
