Azmat, who is married to Muhammad Shakeel and lives in Degwar Maldialan, was returned to IoK at Rawala-Poonch crossing point on humanitarian grounds, the ISPR stated. 

The move is a "gesture of goodwill and in continuation with Pakistan Army?s efforts to maintain peace and tranquillity along Line of Control," the Pakistan Army's media cell added. 

Civil and military officials of both sides were present at the occasion.

Earlier in the year, Pakistan had released Afghan nationals to their home country as a gesture of goodwill.

The Afghan nationals who were returned had spent a week under the open sky as the Torkham border remained closed. Among them were women and children.
