Pakistan accepts body of terrorist who tried to attack an Army frontier post: Officials

The body of a Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) infiltrator, who was captured alive on August 21 near the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri district, was handed over to Pakistani officials on Monday.

An official said the body of Tabarak Hussain, who was injured when he was part of a group to launch a ‘fidayeen’ or suicide attack on an Army’s frontier post in Rajouri, was handed over to Pakistan at the Chakkan-Da-Bagh crossing-point in the Poonch area of the Pir Panjal valley.

“We handed over the body to them [Pakistani officials] around 11.06 am,” Dr. Manmeet Kaur, a doctor in Poonch, said.
