Jammu, Indian-administered Kashmir – In August 2013, a police officer in Nubra, one of the last inhabited valleys in the northeast of the Himalayan region of Ladakh, received an unusual communication.
In the letter, Pramanand Jha, an officer from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), a paramilitary force primarily deployed on India’s eastern borders, asked the police to register cases against three “Chinese intruders” who had been in the ITBP custody for nearly two months.
