Boy who crossed border 'inadvertently' handed over to Pakistan

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday said it has handed over an eight-year-old boy to Pakistani rangers after he inadvertently crossed the international border (IB) and reached India's Barmer sector from the neighboring country. "The incident took place at the border security fence near the border outpost of Somrar in the Barmer sector of Rajasthan on Friday," officials said.

"As a goodwill gesture, the BSF on Friday handed over a Pakistani minor boy in a flag meeting with Pakistan Rangers," the BSF stated. "On April 2, Karim s/o Yamanu, age approximately eight years, had inadvertently crossed the IB, entered Indian territory and reached upto BS (border security) fence near BOP (border out post) Somrar of Barmer sector (in Rajasthan)," it added.

"The boy seemed to have lost his way and reached across IB, as nearest Pakistan village Somrar is about three km from the place, where the boy was spotted by the BSF," it said. "Soon, on the directions of HQrs (headquarters), a flag meeting was held with Pakistan Rangers and the minor boy was handed over to them," the statement said.
