June 30th, 2010 - 4:43 pm ICT by ANIWagah June 30 (ANI): Reciprocating Pakistan’s gesture, India on Wednesday, released four Pakistani nationals who had been lodged in Indian jails.

The visibly excited prisoners were handed over to the Pakistan Rangers near the Zero-Line on the Wagah-Attari Road that divides the two countries.
