I was treated better than my expectation in Pakistan, says BSF jawan swept away by Chenab - The Times of India

ISLAMABAD: A BSF jawan, who was swept away into Pakistan by strong currents of Chenab river and picked up by Pakistan Rangers, on Friday said he was treated "better" than his expectation and was looking forward to meeting his family.

Satyasheel Yadav told reporters in Pakistan before he was to be handed over to BSF authorities that his boat accidentally strayed into Pakistan after it went out of control in strong river currents.

"My colleagues swam out but I did not know swimming. The boat took me into Pakistani territory. I jumped into water near a Pakistan post and was rescued by jawans of Pakistan Rangers," he said in his narration of the events leading to his capture.

Yadav, flanked by Rangers' officials, said he was made "comfortable" by them.

"They took my introduction. They helped me to the extent they could. They kept me better than what I had thought. I have no complaints. I am happy," the 30-year-old jawan said.

Yadav was out on a patrol with three other personnel in the Paragwal-Khour sub-sector of general area Akhnoor when the boat they were travelling in developed a problem.

Indian officials have said 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 by the villagers initially and then handed over to the Rangers, they said.

The current in the Chenab is always very fast.

My question remains.

The current in the Chenab is always very fast.

My question remains.

He was on a boat which developed snag, forcing him to swim in the fast current of Chenab.

 

[WAR-rior]

My question remains.

Arre, He might have slipped into the current and instead of fighting the current and drown by getting tired, he might have simply followed the current and kept floating.

Dont think too much. No person will go into enemy land in this manner to get caught.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Treated better than expectation? Ohh ya. He expected his head rolled off but was sent in 1 piece.

On serious note. Pakistan did it to maintain impression internationally. This event has only helped them move a step forward.

Good work. I wish that our relation improve in future. We are permanent neighbor, and we both should remain with peace.... Peaceful Pakistan is in the interest of India, and Peaceful India is in the interest of Pakistan....

The soldier says he didnt know how to swim, my Q therefore is what was doing on the boat then ?

Okie, missed that part, fair point. A soldier who can't swim was on a river patrol team, makes no sense.

Who is the Indian counterpart of Zaid Hamid ?

On another serious note ....few years back a chopper lost it's way and was halted by Pakistan Army ...On knowing that it intruded just by a human error ...the chopper along the pilot and other personnel were returned to India safe and sound

Jaan bakhsho bechary ki yaar ....BSF are more like riggers not swimmers ...He was on the boat to have some fun with his buddies...he never knew he would see Pakistan for free ...
