BSF jawan captured by Pakistan
The BSF jawan was reportedly captured by Pakistani forces after he fell into the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir and was pushed by strong currents onto the Pakistani side.
The BSF has sought a flag meeting with the Pakistan Rangers.
"Formalities are being done and we are hopeful that Pakistan Rangers will release our soldier in a couple of hours," Director General BSF DK Pathak was quoted as saying by CNN-IBN.
According to reports, a team of BSF soldiers were patrolling in the river when the engine of their boat failed.
"While five soldiers jumped off the boat to save themselves, one was swept away," CNN-IBN reported.
