After spending 29 years in a Pakistani jail, an Indian man came home to Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, and was greeted with a resounding homecoming.
He claims that any Indian who falls into the Pakistan Army's trap is viewed as a spy and is tortured and imprisoned without regard for human rights.
"For three and a half years, I was tortured and subjected to barbaric treatment," he claimed.
According to Singh, every Indian who falls into the Pakistan Army's trap is considered as a spy and subjected to torture, including high-voltage torches and solitary confinement.
"I never gave up. When an Indian falls into the hands of the Pakistani army, he or she is considered as a spy and is tortured and imprisoned without regard for human rights "Singh stated.

He further stated that two persons from Jammu and Kashmir remain imprisoned in Pakistan and are awaiting release. He further said that ten to twelve Indians are being treated in Pakistani mental institutes after being tortured by security forces.
On humanitarian reasons, Singh also urged both the Indian and Pakistani governments to free all of their captives.
