Rajouri: A Pakistani terrorist who was arrested while attempting to intrude India died of cardiac arrest on Sunday while undergoing treatment at a military hospital in Jammu and Kashmir.
The soldiers donated three units of blood to save Tabarak Hussain (32) during a lifesaving surgery after he was wounded.
He reportedly told India Today in the hospital that he was sent by Pakistan's Army to carry out the Fidayeen terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
Hussain, a resident of Sabzkot village in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, confessed to have been sent by a Colonel of the Pakistan Intelligence Agency named Col. Yunus Chaudhary, paying him 30,000 Pakistani Rupees.
Tabarak Hussain was arrested on August 21 for the second time in the past six years while trying to intrude into this side from across the border.
Hussain, a trained Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) guide and Pakistani Army agent, was shot at and critically injured by the Indian troops who later shifted him to a military hospital where he underwent surgery.
On August 24, Army's 80 Infantry Brigade Commander, Brigadier Kapil Rana said Hussain confessed to his plan to attack the Indian Army post along with two others who, however, fled back after they were intercepted on the Line of Control (LoC) in Nowshera sector.
Incidentally, he said the individual was earlier captured by the Army from the same sector in 2016 along with his brother Haroon Ali and was repatriated on humanitarian grounds in November 2017.
