THE Army handed over a boy to Pakistani authorities at the Titwal crossing point along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Wednesday, a defence spokesperson said here. Mausam, the son of Manzoor Ahmad and a resident of the Lipa area in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), was handed over to the Pakistani authorities at 11.50 am, he added.

 

“On the night of April 5, the youngster inadvertently crossed the LoC into Kupwara’s Karnah. He was identified as Mausam, son of Manzoor Ahmad from the Lipa area of PoK,” the defence spokesperson said.
