SRINAGAR: The Army on Friday arrested a man, who claims to be a Saudi national, from a high-security checkpoint on way to the Line of Control in Kupwara district. The man, however, had no travel documents on him and is now being brought to Srinagar to ascertain his antecedents. Foreigners have a restricted access to the frontier Tangdhar area.

Kupwara SSP Vijay Kumar said he was arrested by the Army during routine checking at Chowkibal and later handed over to the police. “He has no documents and we are unable to understand his language. He speaks very little incoherent English. He wrote down his name as Noor ul haq, son of Hassan Saraf, of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. He said something about misplacing his travel documents in Delhi,” Kumar said. “We are suspicious because we want to know what he was doing in Kupwara and that too heading for the LoC.”
