KOLKATA: (Apr 27) The wife of BSF jawan Purnam Sahu – detained by Pakistan Rangers after inadvertently crossing the international border – on Sunday said she is planning to visit Ferozepur in Punjab to gather information from senior officials of the force about efforts to bring back her husband.
According to BSF officials, the incident occurred when Sahu, escorting a group of farmers near the border, stepped away to rest under a tree, unknowingly slipping into Pakistani territory. He was posted with the 182nd battalion of the BSF at the Ferozepur border in Punjab.
The Indian and Pakistani border forces held a flag meeting to negotiate Sahu’s release, the officials said on Thursday night, but the family has received no further updates. PTI
