Jammu, Oct 23 (PTI)
Hours after her detention on the Indo-Pak border, a Pakistani teenager was repatriated to her country as a goodwill gesture by BSF in R S Pura border belt of Jammu and Kashmir.
16-year-old Kaneez Fatima was apprehended yesterday by BSF troops after she crossed over the International border in Nikowal Border Belt, a BSF officer said here today.
During questioning, Fatima told BSF her parents opposed her marriage to her boyfriend and, therefore, she crossed to this side out of anger.
BSF authorities immediately established contact with their Pakistani counterparts and handed over the girl back to Pakistan Rangers in the evening as a goodwill gesture, the officer said.
"It was a goodwill gesture. The move was appreciated by the villagers of Umravali (Pakistani village) to which the girl belonged to. They had gathered on the other side and were happy," he said.
