Police say Pakistani teenager is innocent

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
Pakistani teenager Nasir Sultan had crossed the border and stepped into India innocently, the Punjab Police said on Sunday, a day after the Hindustan Times reported his detention.

Ferozepur district police chief Dinesh Partap Singh told HT that after Nasir’s interrogation, it was clear that the boy had unknowingly violated the Indian Passport Act.

The 15-year-old from the North-West Frontier Province, who crossed the border to make it big in Bollywood just like his idol Shah Rukh Khan, was picked up by the Border Security Force and put behind bars in a juvenile home in Faridkot 41 days ago.

A case was registered against Nasir for entering India illegally at the Sadar police station, Ferozepur on August 18. He has been facing trial in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Juvenile Court Jatinder Singh Behniwal in Ferozepur.

Terror Returns To Jammu

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
In a dastardly attack, the biggest in Jammu region since 2002, militants struck in the border town of Samba, killing five people, including a woman hostage and a photojournalist.

Two militants holed up in a house were killed on Sunday evening after a fierce, 13 hour encounter. The militants had taken six people, including women and children, hostage.

The attack, the first major terror strike since the one on Raghunath temple in November 2002, came close on the heels of an infiltration bid three days ago, which the Border Security Force claimed to have foiled. Police believed that some militants did manage to sneak in and the location of Sunday's encounter site, close to the Jammu Pathankot highway, indicates that infiltrators were indeed able to negotiate the fence and other monitoring devices.

Inspector General of Police K. Rajendra confirmed to Hindustan Times that both the militants had been killed and that the operation was over.
