The three children are aged between 10 to 14 years.DG Rangers Punjab Major General Bilal Ahmed received Pakistani prisoners. He garlanded and distributed sweets amongst them. The prisoners were looking very exhausted.On the occasion very emotional scenes were seen. They bowed before Almighty Allah after entering Pakistan. The Indian authorities have given the list of 13 prisoners. One prisoner belonging to Hyderabad was stopped in India on the plea that his travel documents were not ready.Those freed from Indian custody included three fishermen from Hyderabad while remaining are from different areas of Punjab and AJK.
