For want of papers, Indian freed by Pakistan sent back to jail

ISLAMABAD: Ram Prakash, an Indian released on Tuesday on completion of his 10-year jail term on spying charges, was sent back to prison from the Wagah border because he did not have travel documents to cross into India.

The Indian High Commission here said it was unable to provide him the papers as Pakistan had not given information about the release.

Refuting reports in the Pakistani media that Indian officials refused to accept Ram Prakash, the High Commission said, “it is hardly likely that even the Pakistani immigration authorities at Wagah would have permitted him to cross over into India” without the papers.
