Three Pakistani boys, who were held by BSF near the international border after they had inadvertently crossed over into Indian territory, were sent back to their country, an official said today.
According to a BSF officer, the three Pakistani boys had crossed over to India through BOP Kotrazda yesterday. They were identified as Mohhammed Amir (15) and Sane Arshad (13), both residents of village Riya, District Narowal and Nomal Ali, a resident of village Whaley Chak of Faisalabad.
BSF said the trio were noticed at border village Ajnala by BSF patrolling party. On being asked, the boys told BSF they were the residents of border villages of Pakistan.
Immediately a flag meeting was arranged and BSF apprised the Pakistani Rangers boys and handed over to them.
BSF said that before repatriation, they were given food besides chocolates and sweets to carry with them. The boys were happy at the time of repatriation, he said.
