Kolkata: The family of Border Security Force (BSF) constable Purnam Kumar Shaw continues to be worried over the fate of Shaw who has been detained in Pakistan since April 23, amid the ongoing war-like situation between India and Pakistan. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has reportedly spoken to Rajni, wife of Shaw, and assured her all help.
Shaw (40), is a resident of Rishra in Hooghly district. Shaw had inadvertently crossed the international border near Ferozepur district on April 23 and was reportedly captured by Pakistani Rangers, a day after the Pahalgam terrorist attack. No information about his return could be ascertained yet, despite continued efforts by BSF. Shaw's family, including his pregnant wife, visited Ferozepur and met senior BSF officials. "When we went to Ferozepur, senior BSF officials assured us all help and asked me to be calm and patient. I was patient all these days but given the situation, we are all worried now. I cannot take the tension anymore. I am not well. Uncertainty prevails despite the ceasefire," she said.
She expressed hope after speaking to Banerjee. "I wanted to seek time with the CM and would urge her to help me. I want our CM to request Prime Minister Narendra Modi for my husband's return," she said.
