Mumbai, June 4: In a bizarre and concerning case, 43-year-old Sunita Jamgade from Nagpur, who illegally crossed the Line of Control (LoC) into Pakistan last month, told police she used Google Maps to navigate her way across the border. The woman reportedly entered Pakistan via Hunderman village in Kargil, claiming the widely used navigation app guided her route.

According to a report Indian Express report, Kapil Nagar Police Station Inspector Satish Aade confirmed that a suspicious mobile application was found on Jamgade’s phone. The app has not been opened yet, and the device has been sent for forensic analysis to assess potential risks, including the possibility of surveillance hardware such as a tracking chip. Investigators noted erratic behaviour during questioning, with Jamgade often giving unrelated responses, suggesting possible mental health issues. Nagpur: 43-Year-Old Woman Suspected of Crossing Into PoJK for Love, Leaves Minor Son Behind in Kargil.
