Karachi: Shiraz Khan, who mistakenly entered India in 1993 when he was just 11, is desperate to materialize his dream to finally return back to his homeland Pakistan.
Shiraz left home because of trivial annoyance is currently living in Mumbai, India. He wants to return to his homeland but bureaucracy barrier is keeping him from fulfilling his dream.
Revealing the story, Pakistan former Minister for Human Rights, Ansar Burney told Indian media that he has requested the high-ups of Pakistan to grant nationality to Shiraz Khan and a positive response in this regard is expected soon.

One day, Shiraz handed himself to CID police and told them that he is Pakistani and wants to return, but was unsuccessful to prove his identity. He was then ‘kept in jail on violation of the passport law’.
While expressing his emotions, Shiraz intrigued the media with an astonishing fact. Though he stayed in an unfamiliar, foreign country for 18 years, he managed to marry an Indian girl and is now father of three children.
