Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday handed over to Pakistan Rangers six Pakistan nationals who had inadvertently crossed over to the Indian side.
The Pakist nationals were apprehended after they crossed over to the Indian side on Friday in Punjab.
"Border Security Force (BSF), Jalandhar today handed over six Pakist nationals who had inadvertently crossed over to the Indian side, to Pakistan Rangers. The six Pakist nationals were apprehended as having crossed over to the Indian side on Jan 8," BSF said in a release.
