An Indian teenager, who allegedly left his home after a quarrel with his mother, and accidentally crossed over into Pakistan, has been arrested.
Jitendar Arjunwar, 15, was sent to juvenile prison in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
He had crossed the border near Khokhrapar and was arrested by the Rangers at Cheta Chowk.
According to Khokhrapar SHO Khurshid Bhatti, the teenager spoke both Urdu and English.
The boy told the police that his name was Jitendar Arjunwar, son of Aishurya Arjunwar, and that he was a resident of Madhya Pradesh state of India.
He said he had a quarrel with his mother about two months ago and had left home in anger, adding that he kept wandering here and there in India.
After nearly a month, he reached a place where he found barbed wires and thought that the wires had been placed to stop livestock in the area.
He dug out soil beneath the wires and continued his journey. When he later became thirsty, he moved towards a place where he saw some light, the report said.
On reaching the spot, he found some people wearing military uniforms, who gave him water and inquired about him following which he told them who he was and how had he reached the place.
