BSF officials added that the Pakistan Rangers had fully cooperated with them during flag meetings and that they had taken proper care of the girl.
“Since her footwear and clothes, which she was wearing when she went missing, were in bad condition, the Rangers replaced them with new ones,” BSF DIG Karan Singh Rathore said.
“The girl told us that she was offered biscuits and candies across the border,” he said.
Another BSF official, who did not wish to be named, said the girl had ventured some 4-km inside Pakistani territory before finding a hut to take shelter in.
“On Saturday, when she woke up she found two cops approaching her who took her to another place where she was kept with care. A woman official was with her in Pakistan.
“The girl was normal when she was brought here. She was handed over to her father after a medical examination,” the officer said.
The girl's family lives on a farm in the 43 KYED area of the district which is close to the India-Pak border.
