This development follows an incident on April 23rd where Pakistani Rangers apprehended a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan, Purnima Kumar Shaw, who inadvertently crossed the Indian border. India demanded his immediate release, but Pakistan has yet to respond positively. Furthermore, Pakistan has not provided any information regarding Shaw's whereabouts or potential return.
Images of Purnima Kumar Shaw, blindfolded, circulated on social media, shared on Pakistani social media handles, confirming his captivity.
Indian Family Meets BSF Officials
Purnima Kumar Shaw's pregnant wife and son recently arrived in Punjab and met with senior BSF officials. Officials assured them that efforts are underway to secure his swift return. A senior official stated, "Considering the current tensions between the two nations, the Pakistan Army might deliberate on this matter. However, such incidents have been resolved quickly in the past."
