The boy should be identified by pakistani authorities and arrangement should be made for return.

agreed, there is enough bonhomie between the current govts to arrange for his return.

It indeed is criminal that a 13 year old is kept in jail for over a year.

A Child Observation Centre, well we can't afford to give him a 5 star stay.

Pakistan did a silly thing by not responding, but why send him to a jail?

Read the article for once. They tried contacting Pakistanis, but there was no response from them. How are they going to return the kid?

As per law, he is illegally in India, and if Pakistan is not taking him back, jail it is...

I mean Wahts the point in keeping a child in detention for over a year when you can directly allow him to go to pakistan even Pakistani ranger soldier was not kept in detentions for more than 2 days and was allowed to go back.Keeping child in detention is criminal on part of GOI and its slave forces.

 

[Safriz]

stupid teens...
Thats all i can say.

May be because the pakistani ranger is an adult, with identification, and somebody to receive him from other side.
How do you propose to return the boy, take to the border and push him to other side.

There are many Indians stuck here(and sleeping rough) in UK because they burnt their own passport. All of them have to identified before they can be deported by UK authorities. One cannot simply avoid red tape.
In case of India/pak, too much red tape.

"the Indian jail authorities claim they had written letters to the Pakistani authorities in this regard but received no response"

Perhaps we are thinking Jail in terms of " real jail", this maybe a detention center for juveniles. In the US run way juvi's are taken to a detention center till their parents respond. There are no vacation homes for them to go to plus authorities would be bigger problem if the kids escape and then get caught up in something bad.
