Shillong, May 14: A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan, Purnam Kumar Shaw, who was apprehended by Pakistani Rangers on April 23, was handed over to Indian authorities on Wednesday at the Attari-Wagah Border in Punjab around 10:30 AM, after keeping him in their custody for 21 days.
The handover was conducted peacefully and in accordance with established bilateral protocols.
Shaw was taken into custody while escorting farmers near the International Border in Ferozepur district and is believed to have inadvertently crossed into Pakistani territory. His apprehension occurred just a day after the Pahalgam massacre, which had heightened tensions along the border.
The release of the jawan comes in the backdrop of a recent ceasefire agreement between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan, signaling ongoing efforts to maintain calm and communication along the border.
