Detained Chinese Man's J&K, Ladakh Trip Under Scanner, Phone Sent For Forensic Exam
The mobile phone of a Chinese man who has been detained in Srinagar for violating visa norms and visiting strategic and sensitive areas in Ladakh and Kashmir without permission has been sent for forensic analysis to determine if he leaked sensitive information. Hu Congtai, who arrived in Delhi on November 19 on a tourist visa, allegedly visited restricted areas, including Leh, Zanskar and various locations in Kashmir Valley, without registering with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). The 29-year-old stayed in Zanskar for three days, visiting monasteries and places of strategic importance, despite his visa only permitting him to visit select Buddhist religious destinations, such as Varanasi, Agra, New Delhi, Jaipur, Sarnath, Gaya, and Kushinagar.
