Shant Waindham and Wari Lal were arrested on November ♕14 by a patrolling team of Yazman police while they were entering Pakistan illegally from Cholistan area in Bahawalpur district, some 400 km from Lahore, police said.

Waindham is a resident of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, while La♚l is from Madhya Pardesh, they claimed.

Ea🅺rlier in August, police in Pakistan's Punjab province claimed to have arrested an "Indian spy" in the town of Dera Ghazi Khan.

The man, identified as Raju Lakshman, was arrested while entering the town from Balochistan province, the sa🥃me province where Pakistan claimed it arrested Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav.

Jadhav, 49, a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military c🐬ourt on charges of "espionage and terrorism" in April 2017, following which India moved the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking a stay on his death sentence and further remedies.
