Aligarh Man Jailed in Pakistan May Return Soon
A young man from Aligarh named Badal Babu went to Pakistan after meeting a woman named Sana Rani on Facebook.
He crossed the border to meet her, but after two days, she asked him to leave.
Instead of going back to India, he worked as a laborer and was later arrested.
He was in jail for a year for entering Pakistan illegally.
Now, he has finished his sentence and is waiting to come back home.
His family is very happy and hopes he will return soon.
Badal Babu, a 20-year-old from Aligarh, crossed into Pakistan after meeting a woman named Sana Rani on Facebook.
He was arrested for illegal entry and sentenced to one year in jail, initially suspected of espionage but later cleared.
After completing his sentence, he was moved to a detention center awaiting formalities for his return to India.
His family, with the help of local authorities and a lawyer in Pakistan, is hopeful he will return home within a week.
The family had almost lost hope due to deteriorating India-Pakistan relations but is now relieved.
