The 14 Indians returned to India Thursday after a two-week visit to Pakistan, where they visited about a dozen jails to find clues to the men they believe may still be held in Pakistan.

"We are not satisfied at all because we were shown only 10 to 12 prisons, all of them housing civilians," said Reshma Advani, whose airforce officer husband went missing in the 1971 war between the South Asian arch-rivals.

Pakistan has repeatedly denied that it holds any Indian prisoners of war, but some families say they have heard of their relatives in jail from other Indian civilians who had been imprisoned there.

Islamabad said it allowed the families to visit jails following the repeated requests from the Indian government. Ties between India and Pakistan have also improved since a peace process was launched in 2004.

"They did not let us see any of the cells. We only visited the office of the head of the jail and were shown some records," Advani told AFP.

Advani said the only consolation came from a former Pakistani army official, who approached them after reading about their visit in the local media, and told them that an Indian they were searching for had died in the war.

"That story seemed to be true," Advani said.

The group is seeking information about 54 Indians they believed were captured alive in the war -- the third between the South Asian rivals.
