They immediately contacted the Pakistan Rangers who identified him as Ali Gohar, son of Sajjan, a resident of Dandari village in Badin district of Sindh province in Pakistan.

A flag meeting between the Pakistani Rangers led by Lt. Colonel Baig Mirza Laeeq and the BSF team lead by L Sitlhou, second in-charge along with deputy commandant Himanshu Gaur held near Bigha Kot on Sunday to hand over the boy to the Pakistani authorities.

The BSF had provided the boy new clothes, toys and biscuits before being handed over to his father in presence of Pakistan Rangers, said BSF officials.
