Watch: Man freed from Pakistan jail, returns to India after 14 years

A man, who was in Pakistan jail, returned to India after 14 years.

Dharam Singh served 14 years of imprisonment in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail.

Singh returned to India via Attari-Wagah border in Amritsar on April 19.

Singh is a resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district and had crossed the border unknowingly in 2003.

“He crossed over to Pakistan by mistake in 2003 and served a jail term of 14 years.

He will be quarantined for 14 days followed by a round of medical test.

Later, his family will be called and he will be handed over to them,” police said.
