BHOPAL: Pakistan Rangers on Monday handed over two Indian prisoners, including Prahlad Singh of Madhya Pradesh, to the Border Security Force (BSF) at the Wagah border after they were released from Rawalpindi Central Prison.
Officials say Prahlad Singh was brutally tortured by Pakistani forces after his arrest regardless of his mental condition.
“He is not in a position to speak or remember anything. Let him stay home with his family for a few days. It would be fine, ”said a police officer who wished for anonymity.
Prahlad, 58, returns home almost three decades after her mysterious disappearance from Sagar district and arrested in Pakistan.
Three of his brothers and three sisters are eagerly awaiting his arrival in the village of Ghoshi Patti, about 45 km from the city of Sagar. One of his brothers and his mother died.
Big brother Veer Singh, who had been running a pillar to send Prahlad home from Pakistan, broke down in tears when the media asked him how he felt after learning of his brother’s arrival in India.
“She is mentally unstable. We tried to look for him everywhere. Only in 2014, when the police came to pick up his credentials at our house, did we know that he was in Pakistan. Nobody knows how he got there, ”Veer Singh cried.
Sagar SP Atul Singh had told TOI that Prahlad had been missing since 1991. “As far as we know, he was arrested in POK, where he was housed for more than a month and then moved to Rawalpindi,” he said. , adding that his family says he was mentally unstable.
Prahlad Singh had completed his prisons, but was in the Pakistani prison along with 21 people as the Indian government had no information about relatives. They found it difficult to initiate their release without their real identity. Most of them had mental problems and were unable to talk about their families. They are waiting for repatriation.
Prahlad may have inadvertently crossed into the neighboring country or been trafficked. Repeated incidents like this have raised suspicion of a circle of cross-border organ trafficking that could be a predator for poor people with mental health problems.
