Jalandhar, Dec. 27 -- A Pakistan-based activist, Nasir Dhillon, said efforts were being made to secure early repatriation of 23-year-old Sharandeep Singh to India. Sharandeep is in the custody of Pakistan security forces as he crossed the border inadvertently under the influence of drugs, say his family. "After his photograph with Pakistan Rangers went viral, Sharandeep's friend from his village (Bhoepur) in Jalandhar, Bobby Sidhu, who presently resides in the United States, contacted me with an appeal to initiate legal proceedings for the early release of Sharandeep," Dhillon said in a video released on his social media account. Dhillon added that a Pakistan-based law firm has been roped in to contest the case.
