Pakistan hands over BSF jawan who was detained by Pak Rangers

Pakistan handed over Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw to India today, days after the ceasefire was declared between the two countries.

 

Shaw was apprehended by Pak Rangers on April 23 at Attari border in Punjab while on operational duty, after he inadvertently crossed over to Pakistan territory.

 

“With the consistent efforts of BSF through regular flag meetings with Pakistan Rangers and through other communication channels, the repatriation of BSF Constable has become possible,” the BSF said in a statement.
