The three teenagers were on their way to meet their relative on a motorcycle, when they crossed over to India on Friday and were caught by the guards on patrol duty.
Amid the tense ties between India and Pakistan, a heart-warming gesture was witnessed when three Pakistani minor boys, who were apprehended after accidentally crossing over to the Indian side in Ajnala town in Amritsar district, Punjab were handed back on Saturday, laden with gifts and sweets, by the Border Security Force (BSF).
Aamir (15), Nomin Ali (14) and Arshad (12) were on their way to meet their relative on a motorcycle, when they crossed over to India on Friday and were caught by the guards on patrol duty.
“The three boys had come to meet their relatives and accidentally crossed over to our side as they did not know the area from which India began. Our guards caught them around 12: 30 in the afternoon,” CP Meena, Commander of 70 BSF Battalion told the media in Amritsar.
