'I didn't get to meet my love, I got punishment': Indian youth's harrowing experience in Pakistani prison

Badal Babu, a Nangla Khitkari village resident in Aligarh, met Sana Rani, a Mandi Bahauddin girl from Pakistan, on social media. The two fell deeply in love, and Badal's urge to see her prompted him to cross over to Pakistan without documentation. This spontaneous act would alter his life forever.

Behind Bars

Badal was arrested by the Pakistan Police on December 27, 2024, and dumped into jail. He was subsequently sentenced by the court to a year in jail and a Rs 5,000 fine for having crossed the border illegally. Badal already spent four months in the torturous environment of a Pakistani jail.

A Glimmer of Hope

Amidst this predicament, a Pakistani attorney, Fiaz Ramey, contacted Badal's family via social media. Sympathizing with their situation, Ramey volunteered to handle the case for free. He started lobbying Badal's case in court, and against all odds, he was able to make the court recognize that Badal was no spy, but a young love-stricken man who had committed a fatal error.

A Glimpse of Hope

Badal's family has been provided with a glimmer of hope by Fiaz Ramey's actions. The lawyer has briefed them on the fact that he will file an appeal of the sentence to a higher court and request a lessened sentence as well as early release for Badal. The family awaits impatiently the day when they can welcome their son back home.

The Role of Sana Rani

At a court hearing, Sana Rani was produced in court and asked about her relationship with Badal. Even though the two were given permission to look at each other, no words were exchanged between them. The court did note their affection for each other, which may be a factor in deciding Badal's future.

A Story of Humanity

In a heartwarming exhibit of humanity, Fiaz Ramey has been working day and night to assist Badal without expecting anything in return. His selfless initiatives have won the appreciation of Badal's family. As the world observes, this experience demonstrates the intricacies of global relations as well as the strength of love in cutting across geographical boundaries.

The Wait Continues

Badal's family is waiting with bated breath for his release, hoping that the efforts of Fiaz Ramey will yield some result. As the days become weeks, the family is keeping their fingers crossed for their son to return home and the romance of Badal and Sana taking a better turn.
