One such victim of doubt was 32-year-old Aurangzeb, who went back to his family in Lahore after four years spent languishing in Ferozepur Central Jail and undergoing treatment twice at the Amritsar mental hospital.
Dr BL Goel, Director, Institute of Mental Health, Amritsar says Aurangzeb was so violent that he was brought to them in chains from Ferozepur central jail. “But in 2006 it was established beyond doubt that he was mentally unsound even before he crossed over to India. A team of 60 psychiatrists and doctors from Pakistan who were in Chandigarh for an international symposium visited our institute. The director of the mental hospital in Lahore recognised Aurangzeb and so did he,” says Goel.
But after one year of treatment, Aurangzeb was sent back to jail only to return in a worse condition in 2008. “He again underwent another year of treatment and showed great improvement. He later showed us a letter from his family in Lahore. He was handed over by the BSF to his relatives finally in 2009,” Goel adds.
