KARACHI (Online): The Ansar Burney Trust International has requested India for early release of a 5- member Pakistani Baloch family taken into custody on Saturday, by the Indian police of Karunagappally at Kollam.
Chairman of Ansar Burney Trust International and former Federal Minister for human rights, Ansar Burney immediately contacted the Indian Authorities at Delhi and Indian High Commission at Islamabad, after he came to know about the arrest of Pak family, on humanitarian grounds as family by themselves went to concern Authorities in Kollam to include the visiting area into their traveling documents.
The arrested Pakistanis have been identified as 46-year old Kishore Kumar, 40-year old Sangeetha Kishore Kumar (Varsha), and their three children Nija, Simran, and Keerthi, visiting the Amrithanandamayi Math at Amrithapuri in India.
Ansar Burney said that, reportedly the Pakistani family did not possess valid documents and hadn’t sought permission from the authorities according to Registration of Foreigners Act, and only possessed permission to travel upto Thane in Maharashtra to visit Sangeetha’s brother Sumit, a resident of Ullas Nagar.
It was from here that they along with Sumit travelled to Kollam without proper documents but voluntarily went to concerned authorities to inform and include the route into their traveling documents.
