Pakistan sends back disgruntled Indian soldier

Author: By Our Special Correspondent

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Saturday handed over Sepoy Chandu Babulal Chohan – an Indian Army soldier who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) four months ago and surrendered before the Pakistan Army – to Indian authorities at Wagah Border.

According to Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor, Sepoy Chandu Babulal Chohan was stationed in Indian-held Kashmir and had deserted his post at the LoC due to grievances of maltreatment against his commanders.

He willfully crossed the LoC on September 29, 2016 and surrendered, the spokesman said, adding that as a gesture of goodwill and in continuation of efforts to maintain peace and tranquility along the LoC and the Working Boundary, Chohan had been convinced to return to his own country.
