Run-away Pakistani boys held on border

Barmer: Two Pakistani boys, Jaib Ali (10) Athar Ali (18), were caught by the BSF while trying to cross over the border in Rajasthan on Saturday evening.

The cousins, hailing from Munwasar town, apparently dug the earth below a barbed wire fence.

The border patrol, which apprehended them in the Gadra Road police station area, handed them over to the police. They were taken to the Barmer district headquarters for questioning.

The boys told interrogators that they ran away from their home after being scolded by their parents. — PTI
