Sri Ganganagar: Amidst escalating tension between India and Pakistan , the Border Security Force (BSF) jawans apprehended a Pakistan ranger in near Line of Control (LoC) in Rajasthan 's Sri Ganganagar. According to reports, the Pakistan ranger was attempting to cross the border and enter Indian territory when he was caught by the vigilant BSF personnel. The apprehension of the Pakistani ranger near border has fueled the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. According to reports. the BSF jawans were on high alert, keeping a close eye on the border, when they spotted the Pakistan ranger attempting to cross over. The BSF jawans immediately rolled into action and detained the ranger near the border. The BSF and the intelligence agencies are interrogating the detained Pakistani ranger and attempting to ascertain his motive behind crossing the border. 

The officials stated that the incident raised questions about the motivations behind the Pakistan ranger's attempt to cross the border. The Indian security forces are trying to ascertain whether it was a reconnaissance mission, or was there a more sinister plot at play? 

The dramatic turn of events took place on Saturday near the international border with Pakistan. The officials stated that the BSF personnel apprehended the Pakistani Ranger while he was attempting to infiltrate the border, leading to a chain of events that has left many wondering about the fate of a BSF constable who has been in Pakistani custody for over a week.

As per information, the BSF personnel caught the Pakistani Ranger in the Bahawalpur sector while he was spying in the nearby areas. The incident has been described as a tit-for-tat move, given the current tensions between India and Pakistan. The BSF has lodged a protest with Pakistan Rangers, demanding the immediate release of Constable Purnam Kumar Shaw, who was taken into custody by Pakistani authorities last week.

Notably, BSF constable Purnam Kumar Shaw, a member of the 24th battalion, inadvertently crossed the international border in Punjab and was apprehended by Pakistani Rangers on April 23. Despite several rounds of talks and flag meetings between the two countries, Shaw's release has been delayed, leading to concerns about his safety and well-being. The BSF has been working continuously to secure his release, but the Pakistani side has remained non-committal about his whereabouts and the date of his return.

Now, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, with the BSF detaining a Pakistani Ranger in response to Shaw's detention. The move has escalated tensions between the two countries, with both sides engaging in a war of words. The BSF has made it clear that they will continue to work towards Shaw's safe release, but the situation remains uncertain.

The detention of Shaw has had a big impact on his family, particularly his pregnant wife and son. They have been anxiously waiting for his release, and the uncertainty has taken a toll on their mental and emotional well-being. The BSF has assured them that efforts are being made to secure Shaw's release, but the situation remains precarious.

Further details regarding the detention of the Pakistani ranger is awaited.
