Prisoner returns from India after 11 years

A Pakistani man who mistakenly crossed into India in 2007 and was caught by the Border Security Force (BSF) has returned home after 11 years in detention, a media report said yesterday.

Mohammad Yaseen, 45, received a warm welcome upon his arrival at his village of Chaahal in Punjab province on Saturday, Dawn News reported.

Yaseen spoke about the “miserable conditions” he and other prisoners, especially Pakistanis, faced in Indian jails, the report said.

“I thank Allah Almighty that I have reached back home safely.” (APP)
