Later, it appeared that they were mentally challenged, he said, adding that they had apparently crossed the border inadvertently. &#8220;Their pictures and other credentials were shared with India and the Rangers handed them over to the BSF on Monday,&#8221; the official said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cases of 19 Indian nationals, arrested by the Pakistani authorities for alleged \u201cspying and illegal border crossing\u201d charges over a year ago, are still pending with the Federal Review Board. Police and Rangers had arrested the 19 Indians from different parts of the country under the Security Act and Secret Services Act of the country. They have been kept in different jails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They were produced before the Federal Review Board comprising judges of the Superior Court and the federal interior ministry presented their charges. The board extended their detention till the decision on their cases is made based on the investigation report of the interior ministry on whether they should face trial or should be set free, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre>[Do like our <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/times.punjab.31\">FACEBOOK<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>page, share your views and opinions
