JAMMU, Sept 29: A resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), who was detained in the frontier district of Poonch yesterday for possessing ‘jehadi literature’ while entering Poonch through weekly bus from Rawlakote in PoK, was today deported through Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point on the Line of Control (LoC).
“The PoK resident Mohammad Aslam Malik, who was detained yesterday for carrying ‘jehadi material’, was today deported to PoK through Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point in Poonch district,” official sources said.
No case was registered against Malik as he had not indulged in any “anti-India activity’’.
The 68-year-old PoK resident was detained after he was found carrying “jehadi literature” when he entered the Indian territory on the weekly Poonch-Rawalakote bus in Poonch district yesterday.
Malik, a resident of Rawalpindi presently putting up in PoK, had boarded the bus to meet the members of his divided family in Gambhir Mugalan area of Rajouri district.
“During the screening of his luggage, police found two jehadi magazines that he was carrying. So he was detained for questioning,” sources said.
Malik, who was born in India, had crossed over to PoK in 1965 and had earlier come twice to Rajouri to meet his brothers. This was his third visit.
Under the rules, a person can travel three times in two years on the cross LoC permit.
