LAHORE/NEW DELHI: The 87 Indians, mostly fishermen who were freed yesterday, will return tomorrow after the issuance of travel documents by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
Earlier, an official of the Pakistan Rangers had told reporters that it has handed over the 87 Indian nationals who were released from a Karachi jail after over two years detention.
However, Indian officials in New Delhi said the intimation about their release was given at a very short notice and though it was a case of “verified nationality” they need to be given documents to cross over to India.
Meanwhile, the Rangers also maintained that since the official who was to “debrief and record their (Indians) statements” was not present at the Wagah Border, the handing over will happen tomorrow. (AGENCIES)
