Sunita, a resident of north Nagpur, vanished after leaving her 15-year-old son in Hunderman village, a frontier hamlet in Kargil on May 14, promising to return soon. Villagers handed over the Class 8 student, to local police, and he is now under the care of child welfare committee in Kargil.
Sunita's family, reeling from shock, is preparing to travel to Kargil to bring the boy home, carrying documents related to her past treatment at Nagpur's Regional Mental Hospital, as per zonal DCP Niketan Kadam.
Security and intel agencies are closely examining Sunita's cell phone records, which reveal frequent contact with an individual referred to as the "pastor" in Pakistan. Sources indicate officials are recovering chat details & scrutinising her social media communications to understand their relationship.
Ladakh DGP SD Jamwal confirmed Sunita crossed the LoC, describing the situation as a legal matter. "The woman has trekked to the other side. It appears she had personal relationship with a contact in Pakistan. All legal procedures are being followed," Jamwal said, adding Sunita made repeated attempts to cross the LoC in past. While DCP Kadam noted no direct contact was made with Ladakh authorities, the family is coordinating with local police to ensure the boy's safe return.

As court awaits warrant, Kargil cops to leave city without Sunita
Nagpur: With the Nagpur court insisting on a physical production warrant from the Kargil court to allow Sunita Jamgade's custody transfer, the visiting Kargil police team is likely to leave the city soon, said sources. The legal deadlock means the team could not proceed further without the mandatory documentation, leaving them with no immediate option but to return. Zonal DCP Niketan Kadam earlier confirmed that the Nagpur court had asked for a warrant functioning as a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Kargil court to formally hand over custody of Sunita, who remains in judicial custody. The Kargil team, which arrived on Tuesday, visited Sunita's home and attempted to trace her connections but could not interact with her due to legal restrictions. Officials are now expected to reinitiate transfer process after acquiring required paperwork from Kargil court. Meanwhile, investigations continue in Nagpur. Forensic analysis of Sunita's phone has revealed suspicious apps and cross-border chats linked to a supposed gemstone business that later veered into plans to enter Pakistan.

Kargil cops in Nagpur court for custody of woman who went to PoK; NIA keeping eye, may join probe
Kargil police faces legal roadblock for Sunita custody, NIA Mumbai may join probe NAGPUR: Kargil police team, which arrived in Nagpur on Tuesday to take custody of Sunita Jamgade, who illegally crossed into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), encountered a legal roadblock on Wednesday when a Nagpur court demanded a physical production warrant from a Kargil before allowing her transfer. Zonal DCP Niketan Kadam confirmed that without proper documentation, the Nagpur court cannot issue a local production warrant or release her into Kargil team's custody. Now, Kargil police, which had moved court here, will remain in the city for at least another day. Nagpur police are also coordinating with National Investigation Agency (NIA) Mumbai. Kadam said the NIA shared a list of questions for Sunita, and local investigators will send written responses. "If NIA finds a terrorism angle, their team will travel to Nagpur," he added. Earlier, the Kargil police team visited Sunita's home in North Nagpur. Senior PI Satish Ade confirmed the visit, noting that while Sunita's mother was not at home, her brother remained tight-lipped and reluctant to talk. Kadam said she shared very little information with her family. Sources also confirmed the investigation uncovered her previous travels to Bhutan and Nepal in the last few years, apart from her earlier attempts to enter Pakistan. In another breakthrough, police successfully accessed Sunita's phone data. "Some dubious apps were found, and we are conducting a forensic analysis," Kadam said. "So far, no direct link to espionage has been established, but cyber experts are verifying if any of the apps contain Pakistani malware." The forensic probe also revealed Sunita communicated with individuals across the border under the pretext of starting a gemstone business — conversations that later shifted toward discussing how to enter Pakistan. Meanwhile, police mapped her route and pinpointed the exact location from where she crossed the border. They also confirmed Sunita travelled from Srinagar to Kargil with local help and J&K police have identified the individual. A probe is underway to track him down. "Her teenage son has shared crucial details with us and appears to be aware of many events that occurred during the journey," Kadam said. Her son is currently with the child welfare committee, Nagpur. Sunita, 43, is currently in judicial custody and under intense scrutiny after being charged under the Official Secrets Act (OSA), the Passport Act, and sections related to national security.
