The Indian army Sunday apprehended a man who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) into India in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir and handed him over to the police, an official said.

"A civilian named Muhammad Hussain Faryab crossed the LoC in Krishna Ghati sector into our side from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Alert troops arrested him at 9.30 a.m. today (Sunday). He was handed over to the local police," defence spokesman Col. Manish Mehta told IANS.

Pakistani troops had last week violated the ceasefire in the same sector of the LoC.
