A Pakistani child named Asmad Ali belonging to the border village of Tatrinote accidentally crossed the Line of Control while he was running after his pet pigeon and crossed over to India. The incident happened on November 25th, 2021. 

The child was first detained by the Indian Army and later handed over to the Jammu and Kashmir police who filed and FIR against him and presented him before the Juvenile Justice Board in Poonch. Asmad is now at a home for juvenile offenders in Ranbir Singh Pora. It has already been more than two months that Asmad is stuck in India away from his home. 

Asmad studies in class 8th at the Stars School in Tatrinote. Asmad's maternal grandparents who are his care takers are very sad by his arrest in India and his maternal uncle Arbab Ali has made a humanitarian appeal to the Indian authorities to release him and send him back home.

The Indian side has always been generous in the past and has sent back Pakistani kids who have accidentaly crossed the Line of Control. Moreover, the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police have not found any national security implications in the case and the FIR registered in the case also does not include any sections related to National Security threats. 

I request the Indian authorities to release Asmad Ali on humanitarian grounds and send him back to his maternal grand parents in Tatrinote Villagrle. Sign my petition to pursue the Indian authorities to release Asmad Ali and send him back home.

The media in both India and Pakistan have covered Asmad Ali's case. You can read this article in The Logical Indian to know more about him.
