India releases and sends home two Pakistani youth
"Pakistani juveniles, Faisal Hussain Awan &Ahsan Khurshid Chaudhry, were repatriated via Attari/Wagah," tweeted India's External Affairs Ministry's official spokesperson, Gopal Baglay on Saturday.
According to media reports, about five months ago, Indian Army had arrested the two youth for their alleged involvement in the terrorist attack on an Indian army camp in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir.
The National Investigation Agency informed a court early in March that it was not going to prosecute the youth, media reported.
According to an MEA release, "following the completion of investigation and the confirmation of their nationality," the two were repatriated via Attari/Wagah on Friday.
