A Pakistani sailor is believed to have jumped into the crocodile infested waters during his participation in the war games off the Northern Territory coast.

A local YMCA said that he spotted the man hiding in the bushes on the mainland after he allegedly jumped into the Darwin Harbour, reported Daily Mail.

The 23-year old disappeared into the scrub and 'didn't want to be found' while taking part in the Exercise Kakadu of the Australian Navy on PNS Nasr, a Pakistani warship, said Superintendent Rob Burgoyne to NT News. He added that they weren't sure what he was wearing, but it was not the navy uniform and that he was small in stature.

The sailor's backpack, which was wrapped in plastic, floating in the water near Talc Head, was found during a sea search by the Water Police and a HMAS Newcastle helicopter, following his disappearance. The police also found sandals or thongs that are believed to belong to the sailor.

Superintendent Burgoyne said that a dog, who was searching for the sailor, followed small foot prints six kilometres to the south of Talc Head, but they had no luck with that and then the track went cold. A number of search teams looked around the area. Investigations are going on and police are questioning residents of Belyuen to see if any of them noticed anything suspicious.

Brigadier Muhammad Asghar, the Defence Adviser to the Pakistan High Commission in Canberra, said that it was early to comment if the sailor had slipped into the water or had jumped into it. He added that the Pakistani government wanted the sailor returned to them as soon as possible. The Pakistani sailor, when found, will mostly face disciplinary action and criminal charges if he is found guilty.

The Royal Australian Navy has used Kakadu as a part of their Maritime warfare exercise and is considered the largest of the exercises as it includes more than a thousand people, eight warships and twenty-six aircrafts. Fifteen coalition forces are currently in Australia to conduct tactical warfare planning and cultural exchanges until Sep. 12 in Darwin. The forces belong to the Asia Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.
