Purnam Kumar Shaw, a BSF jawan, returned to his Hooghly district residence in West Bengal after his release from nearly three weeks in captivity by Pakistan Rangers. Shaw's arrival was marked by joyous celebrations and patriotic chants as his family greeted him at Howrah station.

The soldier, looking worn yet relieved, expressed his delight at being back home. Security ensured a smooth passage as the crowd clamored for a glimpse of the national hero. His hometown Rishra, ready to share in the celebration, was adorned with lights and music, creating a festive environment.
