Amritsar, August 27

The BSF had apprehended a Pakistan national riding a motorcycle from Indian territory along the International Border (IB) fence, but was handed over back to the Pakistan Rangers on Tuesday.

As per information, on August 26 at around 1.40 pm, BSF troops detected a person on a motorcycle crossing the border, but was apprehended ahead of the fence near Bharopal village of Amritsar district.
