Pakistan to release Mumbaikar Bhavesh Parmar today

Mumbai, Oct  25: Bhavesh Parmar, a mentally disturbed resident of Vile Parle who wandered into Pakistan years ago, is likely to be released and repatriated on Thursday (Oct 25).He has spent close to five years








“Parmar's release is a Dussehra gift to his family. His mother is very happy,” Hegde said.

Parmar is supposed to have boarded Samjhauta Express. He, however, does not know how. He told his lawyer someone made him board the train.

Pakistan Police arrested him in 2007 under Foreigners Act. He was convicted and kept in Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore, till July 2012.

The letter you see is one he wrote to his mother - 57-year-old Hansa Kantilal Parmar - in February this year

She received the letter from a man called Ram Rajji, who described Bhavesh as being “very quiet”, one who cried when he thought of home but at most times recalled nothing.

They had spent time in a jail in Lahore.

It is still unclear how, he managed to board the high-security Samjhauta Express, and once he got to Pakistan, he was detained because he had neither a visa nor any documents to prove who he was.

A bright student, Bhavesh had graduated from NIIT and landed himself a decent job.

 “He was very close to his father, and after his death he went into depression,” said Hansa.

 “After that he also lost his job. The family fell into financial trouble and he blamed himself for not being able to look after us.”
