Mumbai, Oct 25,2012: Mumbai-based software engineer Bhavesh Parmar, who claimed to have inadvertently crossed to Pakistan in 2007 by Samjhauta Express while suffering from depression, and who was jailed in that country for five years, would be returning here tomorrow. Parmar will arrive in Mumbai tomorrow afternoon, Vile Parle MLA Krishna Hegde, who helped his family to take up the matter of his repatriation with Indian and Pakistan governments, said. He was handed over to us after completion of necessary formalities at the border today, Hegde, who is accompanying Parmar, told PTI. We will reach Delhi tomorrow morning and take an afternoon flight to Mumbai, the Congress legislator added.
32-year-old Parmar, a resident of suburban Vile Parle, crossed over to India at the Attari-Wagah border check post today, and was received by his mother Hansa Kanti and Hegde. After spending five years in detention in Pakistan's Kot Lakhpat Jail at Lahore, Bhavesh was given `Emergency Travel Certificate' by Indian High Commission in Islamabad to enable him to return to India.
