At least seven men released from Indian jails reached Pakistan through Wahga Border on Thursday morning.
Indian forces had captured the Pakistani men for illegally crossing the border.
Upon arrival, Pakistan Rangers arrested four out of the seven men. Sources said they were taken into custody for routine investigation.
Ironically, out of those three who were cleared at the border, two were found mentally challenged. Edhi officials suspected that Indian army might have subjected them to torture. Edhi doctors confirmed that both 45-year-old Allah Ditta and 22-year-old Shaukat Ali were mentally challenged. The only released man who finally made it through the border was 21-yaer-old Mohammed Yasir.
He told Pakistan Today that he was a resident of Balakot and Indian army had arrested him four years ago, on September 21 2007, when he was collecting firewood in Balakot suburbs. He said the last 4 years of his life had been painful because of torture. He said during the first days of his arrest he was tortured for days. He said he was finally released from India’s Santa Jail in Kot Bhalwal.
