Happy after their release, the Pakistani prisoners demanded that all jail inmates who have completed their sentence must be freed immediately.

Talking to mediapersons, a Pakistani national, Mohammad Salim, said, "I had run away from my house after a quarrel with my elder brother. In anger, I came towards the Indian border. That was a mistake and I paid the price by spending six years in jail."
