[font="Arial"][size="2"]The four Indian Army [ [url="http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=indian+army"][size=2]Images[/size][/url] ] personnel, whose helicopter mistakenly landed in Pakistan-held territory on Sunday, were grilled for nearly four hours but were treated well.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]Army sources on Monday said that Pakistan army [ [url="http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=pakistan+army"][size=2]Images[/size][/url] ] personnel questioned the two pilots and two crew members about how they came there and other related issues in an effort to ascertain their motives.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]Once satisfied that the incident was inadvertent, the Pakistan army released pilots Major Raja and Major Kapila along with Lieutenant Colonel Verma and Akhilesh Sharma of Engineering Corps.[/size][/font][/size][/font]

[font="Arial"][size="2"]The pilots of the chopper, flying from Leh to Bhimbhat in Jammu and Kashmir [ [url="http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=jammu+and+kashmir"][size=2]Images[/size][/url] ] on a routine sortie, went across the Line of Control [ [url="http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=line+of+control"][size=2]Images[/size][/url] ] at around 1.20 pm as they tried to land due to bad weather.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]But soon after the landing, the pilots and two other personnel of the Indian Army realised that the helipad was not in the Indian territory but in Pakistan-controlled Northern Areas.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]The military helipad was located in Olding sector near Skardu, about 20 km from the Line of Control in Kargil [ [url="http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=kargil"][size=2]Images[/size][/url]] sector, Army sources said on Monday.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]Once on the ground, they were surrounded by the Pakistani Army and escorted to the nearby building, they said. They were questioned but treated well, the sources said.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]Sources said seconds after the Cheetah flew across the LoC, an Indian post in Kargil informed higher formations about the movement of a chopper. They thought it was a Pakistani helicopter which had violated Indian airspace.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]But later as the picture got clear, all the higher formations including the Leh-based 14 Corps, Northern Command and Army Headquarters were informed about the actual situation.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans][size=3]
[font="Arial"][size="2"]After their return, the four Army personnel are being debriefed about the whole incident.[/size][/font][/size][/font]
