DCO Irshad Husain told Dawn the plane apparently looked like a toy -- five feet in length and some six feet in width.

“As the incident took place near the border area and in view of the prevailing terrorism the possibility of it being a spy plane could not be ruled out.”

According to an intelligence agency, no one has been arrested in this respect as claimed by a private TV channel.
