None of this goes through POK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azad_Kashmir), could you reference any? If you are thinking of Gilgit-Baltistan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgit-Baltistan), it got independence from Dogra Raj in 1948 after a short war, then the tug-of-war b/w Pakistan and India and rest is history.

The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir was comprised of Jammu region, Kashmir Valley, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan and a bit of Aksai Chin.[1] So, India have Jammu, Ladakh and a part of Kashmir. Pakistan have POK (Azad Kashmir + Gilgit-Baltistan). And, China have Aksai Chin.

You are right upto 1948, when we fought for our independence to get rid-off Dogra Raj, and became independent and affiliated with Pakistan. So Pakistan did not occupy us. Each side (both India and Pakistan) narrate this story for her benefit :)
