Bhopal:A man from Rewa city of Madhya Pradesh who went missing from home in 2015 and was later found in Pakistan's jail, returned to his home on Saturday, an official said.

Anil Kumar Saket, a resident of Naigarhi tehsil, was reported missing by his family members in 2015. Further, the family also approached the Ministry of External Affairs in 2019.

"Pakistan government released 111 prisoners and Anil was one among them. He doesn't seem to be in a healthy state of mind. He has in fact barely spoken even after meeting his family. It seems that he was very much tortured in the jail," Bunty Singh, Constable accompanying Anil said.

Police suspect that Anil must have strayed into Pakistan through Rajasthan where he was caught and jailed.

"As soon as the family came to know about Anil's return to his homeland, they started weeping out of joy. His mother has been desperately waiting for him since years," the constable added.

According to sources, Anil at first didn't recognise his family members, however, he started responding to them later.
