Woman with jail-born daughter among 12 prisoners return from India

10-year-old Hina's mother was sentenced for 11 years in a narcotics smuggling case

A girl, born to a Pakistani prisoner in a jail in Amritsar, India returned home along with 12 others including man and women on Thursday.

Hina, now 10-year-old, arrived at Wagah border with her relatives and others who had remained imprisoned in India for 11 years, Express News reported.

The mother of Hina was sentenced in a narcotics smuggling case in India.



Meanwhile, India is set to release nine fishermen in a reciprocal gesture after Pakistan made a similar move, releasing 68 Indian fishermen last week. They are expected to reach Wagah border crossing point on November 4.

Last month, Pakistan returned a resident of Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) who had inadvertently crossed the LoC in Chirikot Sector.

Similarly, in January, an Indian soldier, Chandu Babulal Chohan, captured by army, was also handed over to Indian authorities at the Wagha border.
