The mood at the Pruthvi Chandan building, where Kulbhushan stayed earlier, was, however, celebratory.

Kulbhushan Jadhav’s uncle struck a cautionary note even as his friends began celebrations in the NM Joshi area in central Mumbai where he spent his childhood. Speaking over phone to The Indian Express, retired ACP Subhash Jadhav said, “While we are happy with the efforts put in by the Indian government, we want to see Kulbhushan come out alive from Pakistan. Till that does not happen, the fear will remain.”

The mood at the Pruthvi Chandan building, where Kulbhushan stayed earlier, was, however, celebratory. Balloons were being released in the air, sweets being distributed and chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ echoed. “I strongly believe that prayers of the countrymen helped swing the decision in our favour. We know people across the country had been praying in temples and mosques for his release,” said Arvind Singh, a childhood friend of Kulbhushan.
