After her release, Rahila was handed over to Pakistan authorities at Joint Check Post of Indo-Pak Attari/Wagah border, officials said.
She crossed over to Pakistan on the basis of 'Emergency Travel Certificate' issued by the Delhi based Pakistani High Commission.
Rahila, a Karachi resident, blamed her husband Abjul for her miseries, alleging that he was "greedy", and was after her property and money.
She alleged that Abjul wanted to get rid of her and was administering slow dose of drug in her routine food.
After some time Rahila's mental health "deteriorated" and her husband managed to prepare a passport for her and boarded her on a Bangladeshi flight, she claimed.
"On reaching Bangladesh, I started to gain my senses and narrated my story to the authorities at Bangladesh, which suggested me to cross over the border to India where I would be able to return to Pakistan through the Attari border," she said.
