Amid ongoing tension between the two neighbours, India on Monday released 11 Pakistani prisoners and handed them over to authorities at the Wagah border post.

The Pakistani nationals were released after they completed their respective prison terms, official sources said.

The move came days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi exchanged greetings with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Astana.
