During a cordon and search operation in the forests around the Baisaran Valley, security forces on Monday arrested a suspicious man caught with a bulletproof jacket cover, as per reports.
The suspect, later identified as Ahmed Bilal, was wearing a bulletproof jacket at the time of his capture. When questioned by the security forces, Bilal reportedly gave evasive and unclear answers.
The suspect was also unable to explain where he got the bulletproof jacket cover from. Following this, the security personnel handed the suspect over to the police.
Earlier today, a 26-year-old Pakistani intruder was arrested along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.
According to reports, no incriminating material was recovered from the intruder at the time of his arrest.
According to a report by Asia News Observer, the police are currently assessing the suspect's mental condition after taking him into custody from the security forces.
Notably, last week, a 23-year-old man, a resident of Tangmarg in Kulman, was arrested on suspicion of providing logistical support to the terrorists who killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Pahalgam on April 22.
