India's surgical strike to hunt Dawood Ibrahim. I guess their GPS was way off.

What holier than you attitude? No such. You admit killing the soldiers but not beheading? How does it matter? Revenge would be due anyways.
Point is, what was the 'special mission' of this soldier, if he was found alone and did nothing to resist arrest? I'd have asked the same question even if the Indian media had something as silly to say about a Pak soldier caught in similar circumstances.
He was swept away by river waves.
Well said. A lot of elite members and think tanks will have nowhere to hide if and when he is safely returned by Pakistan.He should be fed, treated if hurt and reunited with Indian forces at the flag meeting.
Pakistan and India are lucky, in the fact that such incidents end in a pleasant exchange with neither side going against the Geneva convention. Had this been in South Korean solider straying over to the North, he would never be seen again.
Some of the posts in this thread are downright flaming.
The point is... when we said something like this... you never believe bcuz u have other perspective i:e; if Pakistani soldier did this .. your media to every single Indian say "Pakistani soldier intrude into Indian border for some SPECIAL MISSION" but because this time your soldier did this you're giving justifications that your soldier was there with NO MISSION NO REASON just as usual mistake"
while carrying out a routine patrol along the river on the Indian side. Which makes the story of his accidental fall all the more credible.

This is Indian version of the story after a long lull your media woke up. hopefully you guys will spare us of your masala this time.
why would they hide? many of them already said he will be released.

Revisit the thread from the beginning. There are just as many who're advocating that he be executed. Besides, the Indian side alone would know the circumstances behind him falling into the river. How would Pakistan know about it? They merely fished him ashore from their waters. It's your media who's given a blurry description without fully probing the incident.
JAMMU/NEW DELHI: A BSF jawan deployed along the India-Pakistan border was captured by Pakistani forces early on Wednesday after he was swept away by a strong current of the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Border Security Force (BSF), immediately after the incident occurred early morning, sought a flag meeting with their counterparts Pakistan Rangers for getting the jawan back.
"We are in touch with Pakistan Rangers and have sought a flag meeting. We are hopeful that our trooper will be handed back to us sooner than later," BSF chief D K Pathak said.
Officials said the trooper, identified as Satyasheel Yadav of the water wing of the border guarding force, was out on a patrol with three other personnel in the Paragwal-Khour sub-sector of general area Akhnoor along the Line of Control when the boat they were travelling in developed a problem.
They said that when the patrol squad was negotiating a narrow bend in the river in this sector, the engine of the motorboat failed.

A rescue boat later sent to fetch the BSF men was taken by three personnel but Yadav got drifted in the strong current as the rope holding him snapped and he subsequently landed 400 metres away in the Sialkot sector of Pakistan where he was picked up the Rangers, they said.
A Rangers official confirmed the capture as he told PTI that a BSF personnel had entered Bajwaat sector, about 150 kms from Lahore.
"We are interrogating him whether he crossed into our side inadvertently or he had any other design. We will also speak to the BSF officials concerned about it," the official said.

can any Pakistani member from Punjab explain the link between Akhnoor area along the Line of Control, Sialkot, and Bajwaat sector?
