Three days after the body of an eight-year-old boy from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was fished out from the Kishenganga river in Kashmir’s Gurez, it was handed over to the family as India and Pakistani Armies decided to set up a new exchange point, in a rare move.

Deputy Commissioner, Bandipora, Shahbaz Mirza, said Army officials were accompanied by Sub-District Magistrate from Gurez when the body was handed to the Pakistan Army at 2 p.m. at a point at Chorwan border.

Abid Sheikh, 8, had apparently fallen off the cliff in PoK’s Minimarg area and floated into Jammu and Kashmir, where he was spotted on June 9.
