Sunita Jamgade, a 43-year-old woman from Nagpur, who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) last month from Hunderman village in Kargil, told police during interrogation that she used Google Maps to find her way into Pakistan. The widely used navigation platform, she claimed, guided her route across the border, police sources said.

Kapil Nagar Police Station’s Inspector, Satish Aade said that a suspicious mobile application was found installed on Sunita’s device.
