New Delhi: Indian Army soldier Chandu Babulal Chohan, who "inadvertently crossed over" to the other side of the Line of Control (LoC), a day after the surgical strikes, is in Pakistan's custody, confirmed Pakistan’s DGMO on Thursday.

According to ANI, the neighboring country's DGMO accepted that Chandu Babulal Chauhan is in their custody. This is the first reaction by Pakistan on the incident.

Earlier, it was reported that Pakistan will formally treat captured Indian soldier Chandu Babulal Chohan as a Prisoner of War (PoW) and accord him the treatment prescribed under the Geneva Convention.

Pakistan is viewing Chohan as an active combatant captured after India announced to the world that it had carried out surgical strikes in Azad Kashmir (Azad Kashmir).

Chohan, a soldier from the 37 Rashtriya Rifles had inadvertently crossed over to the other side of the LoC with his weapon on September 29. However, he had nothing to do with the Army’s surgical strikes on terror launchpads in Azad Kashmir.

In times of peace, if anyone inadvertently crosses over, Indian and Pakistani Army local commanders get in touch through flag meetings at the LoC and hand back the people. If required, the DGMOs of the two Armies can also get in touch. In October 2011, for example, an Indian Army helicopter with four Army personnel on board flew by mistake into Azad Kashmir and landed there. Pakistan handed back the men and helicopter.

Previous instances
In July 2012, India handed back a Pakistan Army soldier who had sneaked across the LoC allegedly to meet his girlfriend.

In August 2014, Pakistan handed back an Indian soldier who had been swept away by the river Chenab into Azad Kashmir.

In September 2015, Pakistan handed back an Indian civilian woman who had strayed across the border inadvertently into Azad Kashmir.

Will believe it when Pakistani sources confirm an announcement.

 

[Farah Sohail]

When did our DGMO say tht? No such report or statement of Pak DGMO..reported in Pak media... Oh well...,it must be another figment of Indian media's imagination

 

[YeBeWarned]

Don't worry he will be back soon , Soldiers always treat other Soldiers with respect ..

 

[Abba_Dabba_Jabba]

That is not a Professional Attitude towards Soldier , specially on borders like Indo-Pak where people can get lost easily and hard to undermine the LoC because of terrain .. but lets not take revenge of our fallen Soldier's death from this poor soul , I have no doubt about the Professionalism of Pakistan Army ..

What was there to admit, this was announced a day after he was captured.

The skipped throught the mines and did a back flip over the fence and then got bored and continued walking, not realising he is in Pakistan now.

Loc is not closed 100%. Border fencing has been done only in areas where the terrain permits it.

 

[Pakistani E]

If only the world knew half of the stuff that actually happens on the LoC and the surrounding border areas, you'd know it's an active war zone. I guess both India and Pakistan actually do good work keeping it under wraps. It's only Modi who is trying to internationalise normal incidents on the border to his conquest of Islamabad. The only people more stupid than Modi are the people who voted for him believing him to be some sort of a saviour who will whip Pakistan in to an Indian slave.

Poor soul? That's a sadist right there who was probably looking to murder some innocent Pakistani to satisfy his blood lust.

It's obvious he was there to do something stupid and he got caught but there's no need to torture him because he's already beating himself up for not succeeding to kill any innocent Pakistanis.

They should have killed him instead of capturing, Establishment ko bhi 100 jotay or 100 piaz khanay ki adat par gai hai.
