KARACHI, June 4: A group of Indian citizens visited the Karachi Central Jail on Monday to look for relatives missing since the 1971 Pakistan-India war. Jail officials said that the 14-person delegation was accompanied by two officials from the Indian High Commission as well as an official from Pakistan’s Interior Ministry.

“The group checked the official prisoner records and ascertained that reports about prisoners of war in the Central Jail were baseless,” said a Central Jail official.

The Indian delegation was extended full cooperation, he said, and left after having made sure that no Indians were in the prison.
