Pakistan has claimed diplomatic immunity for a truck driver who was arrested last week after his vehicle was found to be carrying over 100 kg of narcotics, an official said.

Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Shailender Kumar told reporters here that the authorities at Salamabad trade facilitation centre on the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir's Baramulla district recovered over 100 kg of narcotics from a truck plying from Pakistan purportedly with a load of almonds.

"Superintendent of police Baramulla took a team of forensic experts and the seized items tested positive narcotics. Subsequently, the driver was arrested. The truck was seized along with the narcotics. All other 48 trucks that had come across were allowed to go back, according to the usual routine, Jan 18, when 27 trucks from our side that had gone across with goods were also supposed to return," Kumar said.
