BSF constable Purnam Kumar was apprehended by Pakistani forces on April 23, 2025, after inadvertently crossing into Pakistani territory through the Ganda Singh Wala/Ferozepur sector.
On the Indian side of the border, Muhammadullah, a personnel of the Punjab Rangers, was similarly taken into custody by BSF officials under comparable circumstances.
Following several flag meetings between the border forces of both countries, the situation was amicably resolved, culminating in the successful repatriation of both individuals earlier today.
In a statement released by the Indian Border Security Force, it was confirmed that Purnam Kumar was returned safely by the Pakistan Rangers. Indian officials appreciated the move, describing it as “a positive signal amid ongoing tensions.”
This development comes at a time when diplomatic relations between Pakistan and India remain severely strained. The two nations have kept their borders sealed following recent skirmishes, and official interactions have been minimal.
Despite the broader geopolitical friction, the mutual return of border personnel is being viewed as a rare but constructive gesture—a moment of cooperation amid a prolonged period of silence.
