Border Security Force sends back Pakistani boy who inadvertently crossed into India

Jalandhar: The Border Security Force on Saturday handed over a 15-year-old boy to Pakistani authorities after he inadvertently crossed into India in Punjab's Abohar sector, an official said.
The boy was apprehended by BSF personnel on Friday afternoon near the sector's Sovarwali check-post, senior BSF spokesperson (Punjab Frontier) R. S. Kataria said.
Razzak, a resident of Pakistan's Kasur district, had inadvertently crossed the International Border, he said. The BSF contacted the Pakistan Rangers and the boy was handed over to them on Saturday, he said. Kataria said the boy was the seventh person to be sent back to Pakistan on humanitarian grounds this year.
