Thirsty Pak boy crosses IB in search of water, BSF returns him to Rangers

Jalandhar, Oct 3 (PTI): In a noble gesture amid heightened tension between the two countries, the BSF today handed back to Pakistan authorities a 12-year-old boy who had accidentally crossed over to the Indian side in search of drinking water.

Officials said the the boy identified as Md Tanveer was apprehended by the Border Security Force last evening at the Dona Telu Mal border post in Punjab.

They said he "inadvertently" crossed the International Border (IB) and came over to the Indian side in search of drinking water from a tubewell as he was thirsty.

The BSF, officials said, took care of Tanveer overnight and kept him at their camp and early today contacted their Pakistani counterparts so that he could be sent back to his village Dhari in the Kasur district of that country.

"Tanveer was handed over to the Rangers at about 11:00 AM today as per the policy of handing back inadvertent crossers on humanitarian grounds," they said.

An Indian soldier, Chandu Babulal Chavan, is in Pakistan's custody after he "inadvertently" crossed over last week.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said a well- established mechanism through the DGMO has been activated to bring back Chavan.

    Whatever may be the case I am not appreciating giving him back. They should have done that with the exchange of our soldier Chauhan. They must have retained him for sometime...

    The kid could have been looked after well, because he is kid. But the plight of Indian soldier in pak hands, you wont believe it will be worse than hell. He too wondered off to pak by mistake. There could have been atleast a try for exchange.

    It is time that Pakistan should reciprocate the good gesture of India, by returning Indian soldier, in exchange of 12 year old Pak boy, whom India has returned.

    It is a country where terrorist bombard own innocent children in school and people remain quite. How can muslims support these terrorist remember by keeping quite youll are indirectly supporting terrorism and this should end for not only the good of other people but your own people. Follow the right always and discard evil. @ Mr. Henry M -Pakis will never reciprocate they r brainwashed fanatics. But we should not be like than we still our have our humanitarian values and Our soldiers have portrayed it.
