The teenager was apprehended by the Indian Army near the Line of Control in the Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district.
She has been identified as 17-year-old Samia Azim, a resident of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Army personnel intercepted her after noticing movement across the LoC and conducted preliminary questioning before handing her over to Nowshera Police for further verification.

During initial questioning, the girl reportedly told authorities that she had inadvertently crossed into Indian territory.
Security agencies are examining her account and conducting background verification to establish how she reached the LoC and whether there was any other reason behind the crossing.
No incriminating material has been reported as recovered from her during the preliminary search.
Security Agencies Probe Rajouri LoC Crossing
Authorities are expected to follow established procedures for civilians who cross the Line of Control unintentionally, but any repatriation decision will depend on the outcome of the investigation.
The incident comes amid heightened vigilance along the LoC in Rajouri and neighbouring districts, where security forces have recently carried out search operations following reports of suspicious movement.
Further action will be taken after police and security agencies complete verification of the teenager’s identity and circumstances surrounding the crossing.
