In a rare diplomatic exchange, India has released Punjab Rangers personnel Muhammad Allah, who had entered Indian territory illegally.
The exchange took place at the Attari-Wagah border, where Pakistan also returned BSF personnel Purnam Kumar Shah, who had been in their custody.
The circumstances surrounding Muhammad Allah’s border crossing remain unclear, but officials from both nations coordinated through diplomatic channels to facilitate his return. The exchange comes amid heightened security concerns along the India-Pakistan border, with both sides emphasising the importance of resolving such incidents peacefully.
Security analysts suggest that this exchange could signal a positive shift in diplomatic relations, despite ongoing tensions between the two nations. However, border security remains a priority, with officials closely monitoring cross-border movements.
