In a noble gesture amid heightened tension between the two countries, the BSF on Monday 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 Mohammad Tanveer was apprehended by the Border Security Force on Sunday evening at the border post in Punjab.
The BSF took care of Tanveer overnight and kept him at their camp and contacted their Pakistani counterparts the next day so that he could be sent back to his village.
