Jammu, Jan 17 (IANS) A man was shot and apprehended after he entered the Nagrota army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Jammu district, a defence spokesman said on Tuesday.
"An unidentified man was found moving suspiciously near the fence of the Nagrota Army Camp along the banks of River Tawi yesterday (Monday) night," said defence spokesman, Lt Col Manish Mehta here.
"The alert sentry challenged the person as per the standard operating procedure. The person did not respond to the challenge, crossed the boundary fence and started running towards the camp.
