The Indian Army on Friday handed back to Pakistan authorities a boy who had inadvertently crossed the line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, an army official said.
"Yesterday (on Thursday), a 15-year-old boy named Nadeem Chaudhary who had inadvertently crossed the LoC in Naoshera sector was apprehended by our troops," army spokesman Lt. Col. Manish Mehta told IANS.
"On establishing the facts of his inadvertent crossing of the LoC, the authorities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir were informed by the Army and the boy was handed over from Chakan-Da-Bagh (Poonch) crossing point to Pakistan authorities at 11.40 a.m. today (Friday) as a humanitarian gesture," he added.
