Indian woman who spent 18 years in Pakistani jail returns to find her land usurped

Live Mint  

“It feels like I’m in paradise.” That’s what Hasina Begum had said when asked what returning to India is like after spending 18 years in a Pakistani jail. And now, less than a week after her return, she’s fighting to get a 600sq foot plot back, a piece of land whose records had helped the police ascertain her identity as an Indian citizen. As per the ANI report, Begum’s name had got deleted from the voter records in her native city of Aurangabad and her husband’s native city of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. “It feels like I’m in paradise.” On Wednesday, the Times of India reported that Begum had now learnt that the land she’d bought decades ago was encroached upon—someone had already built a house at the place.
