NEW DELHI: Soon after Pakistan returned BSF jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw on Wednesday, India also released a Pakistani rangers trooper who had been in custody for nearly after two weeks. The exchange took place at the Attari-Wagah border near Amritsar.The Pakistani Ranger had been apprehended by BSF personnel near the international border in Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar district.This reciprocal gesture followed weeks of heightened tension between India and Pakistan, triggered by the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam and India’s subsequent counterterror operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor.A ceasefire agreement was announced last Saturday, with both sides agreeing to halt all military actions across land, air, and water.
