In a goodwill gesture, the Border Security Force (BSF) has handed over a 65-year-old Pakistani national, who had inadvertently crossed into Indian territory two days ago, back to his country.
BSF men at the Barreke outpost in Ferozepur sector apprehended Mohammad Ali, resident of village Sheru Khana in Pakistan, on February 10 as he strayed across the international boundary, entered Indian territory and came close to the security fence, a BSF official said on Sunday. Pakistan Rangers were contacted on Saturday and Ali was handed over on humanitarian grounds.
