Vile Parle resident Bhavesh Parmar (32) finally returned to Mumbai on Thursday after being released by Pakistani authorities at the Wagah-Attari border on Thursday. Bhavesh had inexplicably wandered into Pakistan in 2004 in a mentally disturbed state after his father’s death by boarding the Samjhauta Express where police and immigration officials arrested him. He was then imprisoned at the Khot Lakhpat jail in Lahore when his location was finally revealed earlier this year.
Bhavesh landed at Mumbai’s Chattrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) around 3.30 pm in a Jet Airways flight from Delhi accompanied by Congress MP Priya Dutt and MLA Krishna Hegde and his mother Hansaben Parmar. While Bhavesh was not in a condition to talk, Ms Dutt said that he needed to be given more time since “he is in a distraught state of mind”. “His struggle is not yet over. He needs more time to recover and will require professional treatment,” she said.
According to Mr Hegde, Bhavesh told them that he took the Amritsar Express from where someone put him on to the Samjhauta Express when he entered Pakistan. “He was in an unconscious state and was woken up by the authorities there who found no passport cross-over documentation. He was finally released after six years at 3.30 pm yesterday.”
