Pak Ranger Detained By India, LoC Sees Night Of Biggest Ceasefire Violation

The Border Security Force (BSF) has taken into custody a Pakistani Ranger from along the international border in Rajasthan on Saturday. The development follows the detention of BSF constable Purnam Kumar Sahu by the Pakistan Rangers. Mr Sahu was apprehended on April 23 after he inadvertently crossed the international border while escorting farmers along the Ferozepur sector in Punjab. The apprehended Pakistani Ranger, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, is currently in the custody of the BSF's Rajasthan Frontier. Hours after the Ranger's detention, Pakistani Army posts opened unprovoked small arms fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in multiple sectors for the tenth consecutive day on the intervening night of May 3-4, including Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajauri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor.
