Youth returns after spending months in Pak jail
Damoh (MP)/UNI: The otherwise-nondescript Pati Shishpur village bore a festive look on Saturday when one of its residents returned after spending nearly 20 months in Pakistani custody.
Mentally-challenged Adivasi and another youngster Prashant Bendham had strayed to the other side of the international border in 2019.
They were released and sent back to India following the efforts of the External Affairs Ministry.
“Following receipt of information from the Home Affairs Ministry, Barelal Adivasi’s relatives and a constable were sent to Amritsar for bringing him back after he was conveyed into India across the Atari border,” Superintendent of Police D R Teniwar said.
The duo was placed under arrest in Bahawalpur on November 14, 2019.
