Body of youth handed to Pak authorities
The body of Safeer Iqbal was handed over to Pakistani authorities in presence of the district magistrate, army authorities and two of his relatives after completion of legal formalities, a police spokesman said here.
Iqbal, a resident of Khul area in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, had crossed to this side through Teetwal crossing point on July 12 to meet his uncle in Trehgam belt of Kupwara district.
He, however, drowned in a pond on Monday while taking bath, prompting authorities to take necessary steps to return his body to his family across the border.
