Amritsar: A Pakistani teenager, who crossed into India following a heated argument with his family members, has been sent back home.

18-year-old Javed was repatriated on Sunday night when Pakistan Rangers promptly responded to their Indian counterparts and accepted him after verifying his antecedents from Lahore, a senior BSF official said.

The teenager, who had crossed over to India on Friday, was handed over to Pakistani officials at the Wagah border, the official said.

During interrogation, the teenager was found to be innocent and nothing suspicious came out, he said.

Javed, a resident of Azadi Kedri in Lahore, told BSF he worked as a daily wage labourer and had crossed over to the Indian territory, after his parents scolded him.

Javed also said he was from a poor family and has five sisters and two brothers.
