New Delhi, Mar 11 (IBNS): Two Pakistani youth, Faisal Hussain Awan and Ahsan Khurshid Chaudhry, were handed over to Pakistani officials at the Attari/Wagah border between the two countries, according to media reports on Saturday.
"Pakistani juveniles, Faisal Hussain Awan &Ahsan Khurshid Chaudhry, were repatriated via Attari/Wagah," tweeted India's External Affairs Ministry's official spokesperson, Gopal Baglay on Saturday.
