NEW DELHI (Dunya News) - Following the failed plot of spying pigeon which made India laughing stock across world, the neighbouring country has come up with another bizarre claim.

According to Indian media, the Indian army has detained a 12-year-old Pakistani boy over charges of espionage. The boy, who belongs to Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), was arrested across LoC on Indian side in Rajouri district.

“A patrol of the Indian Army along the Line of Control (LoC) apprehended a 12-year-old intruder from the Pakistani side of Kashmir who had crossed over to this side of LoC late last evening in Nowshera sector of Rajouri district,” an Indian defence spokesperson said.

India these days is is trying to erase embarrassment which has stemmed from detention of in-service naval commander and RAW agent Kulbhusahn Jadhav from Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

Jadhav has been awarded death penalty after he confessed to carrying out subversive activities aimed at sabotaging CPEC and destabilizing Balochistan. He has also confessed to terror activities in Karachi. 

In June last year, amid the tense ties between India and Pakistan, three Pakistani minor boys, who were apprehended after accidentally crossing over to the Indian side in Ajnala town in Amritsar district, were handed back by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF).

The three teenagers were on their way to meet their relative on a motorcycle, when they crossed over to India and were caught by the guards on patrol duty.
