PAK HANDS OVER BSF MAN WHO CROSSED BORDER

A Border Security Force (BSF) man, who inadvertently crossed over to the Pakistani side on Thursday in the Punjab sector, has been handed over to the Indian authorities, an official spokesperson said.

The man was undertaking zero-line checking along the India-pakistan border near BSF post G G Base in Abohar sector.

He crossed over to the other side inadvertently due to dense fog and resulting “extremely poor visibility” around 6.30 am, the spokesperson said.

“He was safely handed over to the BSF during a flag meeting with Pakistan Rangers at 1.50pm,” he said.
