A multi-agency probe has been initiated into the “disappearance” of a Nagpur woman near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kargil, along Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).

The woman, identified as Sunita Bholeshwar Jamgade, is suspected to have crossed the Suru river from Hunderman village, reportedly to meet individuals she was in contact with in the Gilgit-Baltistan region.

Kargil police launched a massive search operation near the Suru river after Jamgade went missing on May 14. Her 15-year-old son alerted locals to her disappearance. Initially, local police and the Army were leading the investigation, but now other intelligence agencies have joined the probe.

As of now, Pakistani authorities have not reported any apprehension of the woman. While the Army initially considered the possibility of her drowning in the strong currents of the Suru river, investigations suggest that Sunita may have been carrying a tube to stay afloat.

Sources indicate that drones and sniffer dogs were deployed to detect her scent in case she did not manage to cross the river. Her belongings from the hotel were used to aid the sniffer dogs in their search.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is also reportedly gathering details about the woman and is expected to conduct an investigation in her hometown of Nagpur.

Intelligence sources revealed that Sunita married in 2007, reportedly against her parents’ wishes. She divorced in 2020 and began working as a nurse. In 2023, she moved to Mumbai with her son, residing in a rented house on Mira Road, but returned to her parents in Nagpur within a few months.

It was previously reported that Sunita had traveled to Attari, Amritsar, a few weeks ago. There, she allegedly inquired with a Border Security Force (BSF) guard about crossing over to the Pakistani side earlier this month. She was subsequently apprehended on suspicion and questioned.
