Two Pakistan nationals who had ‘erroneously’ entered the Indian territory have been handed over to Pakistan Rangers on humanitarian grounds.

As per information, on May 22, troops belonging to BSF’s 14 Battalion observed some suspicious movement along the border and nabbed two intruders.

BSF officials said after preliminary investigation, it became apparent the two had entered the Indian territory inadvertently. Nothing objectionable was found on them. The BSF officials contacted the Rangers and both were handed over to them.

This year, six Pakistan nationals have been handed over to the Rangers by the BSF in Punjab.
