PoK 'infiltrator' sent back after crossing LoC to meet girlfriend in north Kashmir

A 22-year-old man from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Zeeshan Mir, was repatriated to Pakistan after crossing the Line of Control (LoC) into northern Kashmir to meet his girlfriend, Iram Bano. Authorities initially detained Mir, believing his crossing was an act of infiltration, but later determined it was motivated by love. After a three-minute meeting between the couple and legal procedures, Mir was acquitted and returned to Pakistan. Both families, separated by the border, maintained contact through social media during the process. Iram's mother, Afroza Begam, described the brief reunion as emotional, expressing hope for their future together. The Indian Army stated that Mir was treated humanely during his stay.
