PoK authorities hand over bodies of drowned individuals to Indian counterparts at LoC, after long search and retrieval efforts.
Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) authorities handed over the bodies of two persons, who had drowned in the Jhelum river, to their Indian counterparts at the Kaman post along the Line of Control on Saturday, officials said.
Yasir Hussain Shah, from the Busgran area of Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district, and Asiya Bano, from the Kundi Barjala area of Uri, had reportedly jumped into the river on March 5.
After a long search to trace the two, Shah's body was spotted floating near the Kaman post along the LoC in north Kashmir's Baramulla district on March 20.
"Police and rescue teams attempted to retrieve it, but it drifted to the other side of the LoC due to strong currents," one of the officials said.
The authorities from the Indian side took the matter up with officials across the LoC, who eventually retrieved both the bodies from the river.
