A Pakistani national, who appeared to be a snake-charmer, was held by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Indo-Pak border near Khavda in Kutch district of Gujarat.

He was identified as Javed, resident of Tando Jaan village in Sindh province of Pakistan. He was arrested last evening, a BSF official said.

“He appeared to be a snake-charmer who may have entered the Indian territory by mistake. We found a snake, Pakistani currency, an I-card and some food items on him,” said the official.

Javed was handed over to Khavda police for further inquiry, added the official.
