Ex-Jawan released by Pakistan alleges brutal torture

[Prometheus]

Jammu: Homecoming has been a long and arduous journey for 50-year-old Amar Singh, a retired soldier of the Indian Army, who was whisked away by the ISI sleuths in April 2010.

He had gone to Pakistan to visit the Sikh shrines and while he was waiting to board the train for India. He was taken away.

Released now, nine months later, Singh says he does not know where he was kept and claims to have been subjected to brutal torture.

''They kept asking me which Indian agency sent you here, and why," said Amar Singh.


His family too went through a harrowing time as they had to repeatedly approach the Pakistan agencies to keep up the pressure on his release. Now, they can heave a sigh of relief.

''I am happy to have my husband back,'' said Amar Singh's wife, Kuldeep Kaur.


On a diplomatic level, Union Farooq Abdullah claimed Amar Singh's detention was a serious matter and an issue that will come up in the SAARC meet in Bhutan.

"Government of India will certainly raise this issue when they talk to Pakistani minister in Bhutan... I am sure they will put this forward to them,'' said Union Minister for New & Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah.

After the Mumbai attack, the dwindling Indo-Pak relations hit a new low and incidents like these are certainly not helping the cause of friendship in any way. However, with ministers from both sides meeting every often, there is certainly a wind of change. Change for the better.

India fails to hand over body of Pakistani national

Wednesday, May 07, 2008
NEW DELHI: Despite repeated requests by Pakistan, India has failed to hand over the body of Pakistani national Muhammad Akram, who died in Amritsar Jail on April 26 under mysterious circumstances.

This is the second gory incident in two months, which reflects the plight of hundreds of Pakistani prisoners languishing in the Indian jails for minor offences. Earlier, Khalid Mehmood, a young man from Lahore, died in early February in Gurgaon Jail.

An official of the Pakistan High Commission while briefing newsmen here on Tuesday said the High Commission had immediately contacted the Indian Ministry of External Affairs through writing and on phone when it heard the news of the death of Muhammad Akram.

India did not inform the Pak High Commission about the death of the Pakistani national, he said. Though 10 days have passed, India has not responded positively and the body is still lying in Amritsar, the official said.

On the other side of the border, the anxiously waiting grief-stricken family members of Muhammad Akram contacted the Pakistan Foreign Office for receiving the body of their dear one who was 30 years old. They even visit the Wagah border almost daily whenever they hear the news of the arrival of his body.

The official said the name of Muhammad Akram was not included in the list of 147 prisoners provided by India to Pakistan while under the bilateral agreement, India was bound to inform Pakistan immediately about the Pakistani nationals who were taken into custody by the Indian authorities.

The official said though two and half months had passed, yet India had failed to provide the medical report of Pakistani national Khalid Mehmood. His name was also not included in the list of prisoners India officially handed over to Pakistan, he said.

Pakistan is trying to establish cordial relations with India by making humanitarian gestures such as the release of Kashmir Singh and the postponement of execution of convicted terrorist Sarabjit Singh. But the response from the Indian side on the same wavelength is missing, the sources said.

The News.



IS THIS ENOUGH OR DO INDIANS NEED ME TO POST MORE SUCH CASES!!!?????

 

[mjnaushad]

Some people are acting like nothing happens in their custody... Atleast we let him live..... People in your costody die with torture.......

 

[Awesome]

Better safe than sorry... All your paperwork and explanations should be crystal clear before visiting an enemy nation - we are not obliged to take any chances and sometimes the wrong people get caught unnecessarily.

Can't do much other than say sorry, it will obviously happen again.

This is the first time I have come across people being abducted while on a visit to the Sikh shrines in Pakistan. Many of my relatives have visited without any incident. I hope this is not a trend.

There are strict protocols that must be followed and they are terms of the visa. They are not to be taken lightly... If you think anyone will suspect you due to your time in the armed forces, make sure you inform the Pakistani authorities about yourself truthfully.

Don't be suspicious, you won't get a second chance.
