Lahore: Sarabjit, 49, Indian prisoner on death row in Pakistan, was attacked by six other inmates with bricks and blunt objects leaving him in a deep coma.The Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
The Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi issued the visas to the family Saturday evening as a special case after doctors in Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital hospital described Sarabjit’s condition as “critical” and “in deep coma”. Two prisoners have been charged with attempt to murder. However, there is no news on the other four involved, yet.
Sarabjit’s wife Sukhpreet Kaur, his daughters and his sister, Dalbir Kaur have crossed over to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah border. The family is demanding better hospital facilities for Sarabjit. There is talk of moving him to India for better treatment too. However, there is no update or clarity on this demand, yet.
He has been on death row in Pakistan since 1990 after being convicted by Pakistani courts for bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan, which left 14 people dead.
