Pakistan hands over two Indians jailed for eight years to India at Wagah Border

An official said that in 2013, the Indian nationals entered Pakistan’s territory at the LoC from Kashmir and were arrested by the Pakistan Rangers.

Two Indian nationals, who were languishing in a Pakistani jail for eight years for “illegal border crossing”, have been handed over to the Border Security Force personnel at the Wagah Border, a government official said on Tuesday. The official told PTI that in 2013, the Indian nationals – Sharma Rajput and Ram Buhadar – entered Pakistan’s territory at the Line of Control (LoC) from Kashmir and were arrested by the Pakistan Rangers. Later, it appeared that they were mentally-challenged, he said, adding that they had apparently crossed the border inadvertently.
