Locked in captivity, the poor girl was all alone and helpless in jail when the soldiers of Pakistan army soon raided the area and killed several militants during an operation. 

It is then that an officer of the Pakistan army discovers the girl, who is able to escape her captivity finally owing to the brave heroics of the soldiers.
