An Indian man who spent three decades in prison in Pakistan for spying returned home on Thursday, officials said. Surjeet Singh, 69, was arrested in 1981 and held in a jail in Lahore. Recently, Justice Ministry said Singh had completed his life-term and should be sent back to India. In an emotional homecoming, Singh hugged his relatives as he entered India at the Wagah border crossing. "I am seeing my children after more than 30 years," he told reporters.
"There's no greater happiness than this." Singh confessed that he had been sent to Pakistan to spy for the Indian army. "Yes, I had gone there for spying," he told reporters. According to the IANS news agency Singh said he would never return to Pakistan. "I was arrested earlier on spying charges. If I return again, the security agencies might suspect that I have come for spying again." Local media reported that Singh was given the death sentence under the Pakistan Army Act in 1985.
