Verification will take time - the sending back part is normally done by way of goodwill swapping of prisoners.

We appreciate that and I hope our Govt. will do the same.....There is not point spending entire life in Jail due to enmity between both countries....

Yes I noticed that. Glad that there is a mechanism in place where they are getting sent back both ways.
