Mohammed Arif Ahmed, son of Mohammad Yousuf of Datote in Nikiyal area of Kotli district in PoK, was captured by troops on Sunday near forward Hajura post in Gambhir area of Rajouri district. He is being interrogated to extract more information.

He was leading a group of four Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists into the Indian side when he was overpowered and arrested by alert army troops on Sunday afternoon, said a defence official, adding that the four Jaish ultras, who were with him, jumped off a cliff and entered Pak territory but also sustained injuries in the process, said the official. The Indian troops didn't open fire because they were within Pak territory and a Pak army post was nearby, he added.
