Pakistan authorities on Tuesday handed over an Indian national who had gone to Pakistan on pilgrimage but was missing from his group when it returned on Saturday, officials said.
The Sikh ‘jatha’ had come home on April 21 after a 10-day pilgrimage but 24-year-old Amarjit Singh, a resident of village Niranjanpura in Amrtisar district, was not part of it.
Pakistan authorities later found him at the home of his “Facebook friend” Amir Razak in Sheikhupura, 50 km from Lahore, and handed him over to their Indian counterparts. He told officials that he had gone to stay with Mr. Razak on April 16, telling his hosts that he held a visa for over a month’s stay in Pakistan.
