Sagar (Madhya Pradesh): Prahlad Singh Rajput, who went missing from home 22 years ago and was languishing in a jail in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, for years, is now back home among his loved ones. When Prahlad reached Ghosipatti village under Gourjhamar police station in Sagar district, his happiness knew no bounds. He was 33 years old and mentally unstable when he had gone missing. Now 55, he remembers many things that happened to him all these years. But whenever the talk of the jail in Pakistan crops up, he bows his head. How did Prahlad reach Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) from a small village in Sagar district? How did he fall into the hands of the Pakistani army and how did he reach Rawalpindi Jail from PoK? Prahlad does not remember any of this. If he remembers at all, then it was the food available there and the incident when his head was broken in the name of torture, and that too he describes in incomplete sentences. It was under such circumstances that ETV Bharat reached Prahlad Singh Rajput's house and tried to know about his time in Pakistan after going missing from home till the time of his release.
A resident of Ghosipatti village under Gourjhamar police station area of Sagar district, Prahlad Singh Rajput was mentally challenged since childhood and suddenly went missing from home when he was 33 years old. His family members tried hard for years to find him but to no avail. Their hopes were revived only in 2015 when a police team from Bhopal informed them that he had reached Pakistan after having gone missing. The family members then intensified their efforts for the return of Prahlad. In 2020, Sagar Suprintendent of Police Atul Singh helped them in their efforts and now, 22 years later, he is back among his loved ones.
