India repatriates 20 Pakistani nationals

Indian authorities today repatriated 20 Pakistani nationals, including 14 fishermen, via the Wagah land border crossing after they completed their prison terms.

The Pakistani nationals were handed over to the paramilitary Pakistan rangers at the border.

A Pakistan rangers official said that India's Border Security Force had earlier said that 22 Pakistanis would be handed over.

However, only 20 people crossed the border, he said.
