New Delhi : A Hizbul Mujahideen militant trying to enter India from Nepal was arrested from a border crossing point in Uttar Pradesh earlier this week, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) said on Sunday.

Nasser Ahmed, 34, a resident of Dolgam village in Jammu and Kashmir, was trying to sneak in India as Kashmiri carpet and Kashmiri vendor when personnel of the SSB’s 1st Battalion arrested him.

He said Ahmed reached Kathmandu in Nepal on May 10 from Pakistan’s Faislabad via Sharjah, along with his accomplice Mohammed Sha- fi, resident of Butpura village in Jammu and Kashmir.

“From Kathmandu, they separated and Ahmed reached India-Nepal border. Our security personnel arrested him when he failed to show them supporting documents of his identity while crossing the border.

“Subsequently, on a search, a Pakistani passport and identity card having address of Lala Musa village in Punjab (Pakistan) were recovered from his possession,” the SSB official said.

The official said Ahmed is an active militant and was residing in Pakistan since September 2003. “He is involved in many violent crimes against civilians and security forces. He was sent to India by his handler for a specific mission,” the official said.       –IANS
