A month after getting a new lease of life by returning to his family and country, Hamid Nihal Ansari is back on Facebook, the place where all his troubles started. It was through this social media site that the 33-year-old fell in love with a girl from Pakistan. When he went there in 2012 to prevent her forced marriage, the authorities arrested him on espionage charges and locked him up in a prison for six years. 

When mid-day reached out to Ansari, he said that he checked his Facebook account just out of curiosity and plans to delete it soon. "I don't know what got me back on Facebook but I just felt the need to check it. I put up a post for time pass. I wanted to see whether the account was active or not. I am planning to delete the account soon. In fact, as we speak, I am trying to find out the way to do so," he said.
