In recent developments, a 65-year-old woman returned to her country, India after 18 years in Pakistan where she went to visit her husband’s relatives but ended up landing in a Pakistani jail after she lost her passport accidentally.

According to reports, speaking about the same, the woman, Hasina Begum stated, "I went through a lot of hardships and I am feeling a sense of peace after returning to my country. I am feeling as if I am in heaven. I was imprisoned forcefully in Pakistan," she said. "I want to thank Aurangabad police for filing a report in the matter," she added in conclusion.

Meanwhile, Khwaja Jainuddin Chishti, a relative of Hasina Begum, also thanked Aurangabad police for the help provided by them in bringing her back to her home country after so many years.

According to police, the woman happens to be a resident of the Rashidpura area under the City Chowk police station limits in Aurangabad and is married to Dilshad Ahmed who is a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur.

Begum had earlier urged the court in Pakistan that she is innocent after which the court sought information regarding the same. On the other hand, the Aurangabad police sent information to Pakistan that Begum has a home registered in her name under the City Chowk police station in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. After a long hiatus, the Pakistani authorities finally released Begum last week and handed her over to Indian authorities.
