"Forty-two Afghans, held in various Pakistani jails, have been released and transferred to Afghan authorities at Torkham (checkpoint)," the source said.
Torkham is a major checkpoint between two countries. It is located on the road leading westward from Peshawar to Kabul through Jalalabad. The Torkham checkpoint reopened in November 2021 after a few months of a shutdown due to the Taliban's coming to power.
