Doctors at Government Medical College Hospital in Rajouri are looking for the A negative blood for one of the two Pakistani intruders, who was captured in an injured condition by the Army troops from forests near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s border Poonch district on the night of April 8-9. Dr Mehmood Hussain Bajar said the man, identified as Mohammad Tariq (23), had fractures in both legs along with open wounds caused by bullet shots. “We are arranging blood for his surgery,” he said. Sources said that the injured man is stable and the hospital needs three-five units of A negative blood for the surgery. The hospital administration has also contacted some NGOs for the purpose. Tariq along with Mohammad Shakeel (32), from Chanjal in Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK), was apprehended from the forests near the LoC in Shahpur area of Poonch on Sunday morning. They had crossed the LoC from the PoJK side and entered Poonch in a group of three on the night of April 8-9. Their third accomplice, Mohammad Sharief Kohli (42), was killed as Army troops opened fire when they, on being challenged by the troops, started running towards the forests. During searches on Sunday morning, the troops seized 17 kg of narcotics along with some documents and eatables from near the body of the deceased, and later captured the other two intruders with the help of CCTV cameras from the forests. The injured man was rushed to the district hospital at Poonch and after initial treatment, taken to GMC Hospital at Rajouri on April 10. This is not the first time troops have captured Pakistani intruders in an injured condition and admitted them for hospitalisation. In August last year, Indian soldiers had donated three bottles of their own blood for the surgery of a Pakistani militant Tabarak Hussain (32), a resident of Kotli district of PoJK, who got injured in firing by Army when he and two others crossed the LoC.
