Four Indian prisoners released by Pakistan crossed over to India on Thursday afternoon, the External Affairs Ministry said.

Suraj Ram, Sohan Lal, Abdul Majid and Mohammad Maqbool Lone were released after serving their respective sentences in Pakistan jails, Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay told reporters here.

He did not elaborate on where the men crossed over to India.

While details of charges against them were not readily available, Baglay said: "What is significant is their happiness, and the happiness of their families that they are back home."
