Mamata Banerjee assured me of my husband's release: Wife of BSF jawan Purnam Kumar Sahu detained by Pakistan

The wife of Border Security Force (BSF) constable Purnam Kumar Sahu, who has been detained by Pakistan Rangers, claimed that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spoke to her over the phone and assured her of every effort to secure the release of BSF personnel. Rajani, wife of the BSF jawan, said the chief minister called her over the phone after she expressed her desire to meet Banerjee to seek the CM's intervention to expedite her husband's release. 40-year-old Sahu, posted in Punjab's Ferozepur sector, inadvertently crossed the international border on April 23 (Wednesday) and was subsequently taken into custody by Pakistan Rangers.
