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.

Spyware-Like Apps Found In Nagpur Woman's Phone Who Crossed Over To Pak: Cops
Nagpur: Suspicious spyware-like applications in the mobile phone of Nagpur-based Sunita Jamgade, who has been held on espionage charges after she crossed over to Pakistan last month before being repatriated, officials said on Thursday. The 43-year-old woman's act of entering Pakistan has sparked security concerns with agencies probing possible espionage links, they said. "Police have found multiple suspicious applications in her phone, which are suspected to be spyware. These apps are being analysed to determine their purpose and origin," an official of Kapilnagar police station here said. "Authorities are probing whether she had any accomplices who facilitated her journey to Pakistan or supported her communication channels. The truth behind her motive, the apps and the nature of her chats will only come to light after a detailed forensic and intelligence investigation," he said. Jamgade had reportedly crossed into Pakistan from Hunderman village in Kargil, which is part of Ladakh union territory. She had left Nagpur with her 13-year-old son on May 4 and reached Kargil, from where she crossed over to Pakistan on May 14, police have earlier said. She had allegedly left her son behind in a hotel before crossing the Line of Control (LoC). Pakistani forces apprehended her after she crossed the border, and held her in custody until she was officially handed over to Indian authorities, they said. Preliminary investigation has revealed that Jamgade was in contact with two Pakistani nationals, identified as Zulfekar and Pastor, before her disappearance. A zero FIR was filed by the Amritsar police, which was later transferred to the Kapil Nagar police station in Nagpur, where she resides, according to them. A team from Kargil in Ladakh also arrived in Nagpur on Monday night to probe the case.

Nagpur woman who crossed into Pakistan used Google Maps to cross over: Police
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. For now, the app remains unopened, as investigators are unsure about its purpose or potential risks. The phone has been sent for forensic analysis, and police are also checking whether a chip may have been installed in the device. Officers noted that Sunita appeared mentally unstable during questioning, often giving responses that didn't relate to the questions asked. Her 12-year-old son has also been brought to Nagpur and is currently under the care of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). Police have recorded his statement. The child said that the family had previously travelled to Bhutan and Nepal for holidays. During her interrogation, Sunita insisted she didn't need a visa for those trips, and therefore assumed the same would apply to Pakistan. Sunita has been moved to Judicial custody. Sunita Jamgade had earlier maintained that she visited Pakistan to seek business opportunities; however, later agreed that her sole purpose to visit the neighbouring country was to meet one, Zulfikar. She has been booked for espionage by Nagpur police. Her police custody ended on Monday and she will now be moved to judicial custody. Authorities are now coordinating with the police in Kargil to determine whether Jamgade received any local assistance in crossing the LoC. Since she was briefly in the custody of Pakistan's armed forces, the investigation will also probe what transpired during her time across the border.

Midnight court allows police to take Sunita into custody, later remands her till June 2
Nagpur: More than two hours after midnight, a city magistrate threw open his residence and turned it into a courtroom to hear a police petition to arrest 43-year-old Sunita Jamgade, who was escorted to Nagpur by train via Delhi early Thursday. The extraordinary circumstances necessitated taking Sunita into custody before sunrise. On May 14, the former nurse crossed the Line of Control (LoC) near Kargil and went missing for nine days before she was handed over to Indian agencies by Pakistan rangers on May 23. After swiftly completing formalities of registering a regular FIR shortly after midnight, police rushed to magistrate AU Mote's residence to get the nod to arrest Sunita. The judicial assent helped cops to whisk her away to a woman's lock-up at Pardi police station after informing her family. Within hours, she was again escorted back to court for another round of arguments for police remand, which was granted till June 2. Talking to TOI, Zonal DCP Niketan Kadam said, "Sunita's cell phone was found formatted, and she has begun talking with a suspicious app. We will seek forensic assistance to recover data. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Her nine-day stay in Pakistan is one of the key objectives of the probe, apart from the route she took to cross the LoC." During a brief interrogation, she told police that she accidentally strayed into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, while trying to search for a nursing job in Kargil. "We need to verify her claims and seek details from Regional Mental Hospital, where she visited on May 2. We need to examine her handset and SIM for possible spyware," said Kadam, adding Sunita left Nagpur with her teenage son on May 4 and landed in Kargil on May 9. Police sources privy to her interrogation said she was constantly changing her versions and even claimed to have visited Kargil as her son wanted to see snow-capped mountains. Sunita reached Nagpur at 10.20 pm on Wednesday, escorted by a four-member police team on Sampark Kranti Express. Senior Inspector Satish Ade of Kapil Nagar police station argued in court that Sunita's custody was important to extract her cell phone data and unravel what she did in Pakistan. Police also argued in court that Sunita's contacts in Pakistan, including one Zulfikar alias Zulfi, who had a Hindu title, need to be ascertained. Police are also trying to ascertain details about the mysterious pastor in her life and how she managed to cross the LoC on May 14. Sunita will now be lodged at the woman's lockup at Pardi police station with women guards and CCTV surveillance. Her north Nagpur residence will also be searched.
