Earlier on February 12, an Indian teenage boy was repatriated to his homeland as a goodwill gesture after he mistakenly crossed into Pakistani territory.
Bimal Narjere, 16, inadvertently crossed into the Pakistan’s side in August last year.
Pakistan Rangers had informed the India’s Border Security Force about Bimal and initiated inquiry into the matter.
After completion of all legal requirements and verification of the Indian citizen’s identity, he was handed over to BSF personnel via Wagah Border. The teenager belongs to Assam state.
