On May 14, 2025, BSF Constable Purnam Kumar Shaw was repatriated to India via the Attari-Wagah border after being held by Pakistan Rangers since April 23. Shaw had inadvertently crossed the international border during a patrol in Punjab’s Ferozepur sector. His return followed a bilateral understanding and multiple flag meetings between Indian and Pakistani forces, coinciding with ongoing ceasefire efforts. In a reciprocal move, India returned a detained Pakistani Ranger. Shaw’s wife, Rajani, expressed deep gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “He brought back my suhag,” highlighting the emotional relief of the family. (PC: The Print)
