External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has sought a report from the Indian High Commission in Pakistan about a man lodged in a jail there for the past 32 years.
Quoting a report published on a website, Ms. Swaraj on Wednesday tweeted, “I have asked the Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan to send me a report on this.”
The website said he had been languishing in the Kot Lakhpat prison for the past 32 years.
A leader of Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Azizullah Khan, had asked his family to send documents related to appeal for freeing him, it said.
Mr. Singh is believed to have ventured into Pakistan while shepherding buffaloes in 1985 where he was arrested by Pakistan Rangers, the website said.
