Pakistan on Saturday said it was returning in a “goodwill gesture” Indian soldier Chandu Babulal Chavan, who inadvertently crossed the LoC in September last year.

According to an ISPR statement, Sepoy Chavan, stationed in Jammu and Kashmir, “deserted his post at the LOC due to his grievances of maltreatment against his commanders”.

“He wilfully crossed LoC on September 29, 2016 and surrendered himself to Pakistan Army,” the Pakistan Army’s media wing said.
