Haseena Begam
AURANGABAD: Haseena Begam had returned home to Aurangabad on January 26 after spending 18 long years in a Pakistani prison. Just after getting down from the train at the Aurangabad railway station, the 65-year-old had said it felt like she was “entering paradise.”
That happiness did not last long. Early on Tuesday morning, just a fortnight after her return home, Haseena Begam died of a heart attack.
Her relatives said that around 1.30 am on Tuesday, Begam started experiencing chest pain. She woke up her nephew Zainuddin Chishti. Soon, her health deteriorated and she was struggling even to breathe. Chishti immediately called for a doctor and an ambulance. However, before she could be taken to hospital, Begam had collapsed. The doctor who came to check her declared her dead.
