The 16-year-old boy, who wanted to to meet his favourite actor Shah Rukh Khan, had crossed the border in Ferozepur sector in a school uniform and without travel documents on August 16. He was arrested by the BSF.
Nasir was lodged in the Faridkot juvenile home since then. The Union Home Ministry issued the orders for his release yesterday.
The boy was given a warm send-off from the juvenile home by the local police and civil officials, including Faridkot Deputy Commissioner V K Meena.
With tears in his eyes, he thanked the other inmates and also expressed the hope that another Pakistani boy Sunil, who is also lodged there, would be repatriated soon.
Nasir is expected to be handed over to the Pakistan Rangers at the joint check post at Attari near Amritsar later in the day.
He was a class X student in the government school in his village Chukiatan in Dir district of Peshawar.
