Baramulla, Aug 27 (NDTV): A Pakistani terrorist has been caught alive by the army and the police after a 20-hour long encounter in North Kashmir. The terrorist has been identified as 22-year-old Sajjad Ahmed, who belongs to Muzaffar Gar Baloch on Pakistan. Four of his companions have been killed.

Security forces are questioning the terrorist, who entered India through the Uri town in Baramulla, along with three more persons.

The group was intercepted in Uri, but they managed to escape. They were spotted again last evening at a spot around 18 km from the Line of Control. Four were killed in the long encounter in Baramulla district 70 km from Srinagar.

The captured terrorist is being questioned in a forest area and is likely to be brought to Srinagar.

This is the second such capture in less than a month after Mohammad Naveed was caught on August 5, following an attack on a paramilitary convoy in Udhampur.

Naveed, which was in the Kashmir Valley for two months before the attack, has revealed crucial details to investigators, including that he was trained in camps run by the terror group Lashkar e-Taiba in Kashmir.

India had planned to raise recent terror attacks - in Udhampur and Punjab's Gurdaspur - and the revelations of the terrorist in a meeting with Pakistan's National Security Advisors scheduled for Monday; the meeting was canceled at the eleventh hour amid sharp disagreements. Islamabad has disowned Naveed, who had said just after his capture that he belonged to Faisalabad in Pakistan.
