Bahawalpur (Pakistan), Aug 31: Sohail Shehzad, who has been languishing in a Jaipur jail for the last 22 years, is likely to be released by September 30.

Anis Muhammad, the nephew of Shehzad, said he received an indication to this effect from Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid (Retd) over phone from India.

He said that Justice Zahid and two other Pakistan members of the Indo-Pak Judicial Committee, Justice Fazal Karim (Retd) and Justice Muhammad Ajmal (Retd), visited various jails in India, including the Jaipur jail, to search for the innocent Pakistanis lodged there.
