Terming it as a gesture of goodwill the Pakistan Army said in its "continuation of efforts to maintain peace and tranquility along Line of Control (LoC), Azmat Jan has been returned at Rawala-Poonch crossing Point on humanitarian grounds," the Inter Services Public Relations said.

Jan who, according to the statement, hails from Degwar Maldialan (in Jammu and Kashmir) had inadvertently crossed the LoC in Chirikot Sector.
