Lahore: In a major development, Amir Sarfaraz alias Tamba, who was convicted in the killing of Indian national Sarabjit Singh in jail, was shot dead by unknown men in Lahore, according to media reports. As of now, there are no details about who killed Tamba.
Notably, Singh was born in Bhikhiwind, located along the Indo-Pakistani border in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab. Singh, who was a farmer, was strayed into Pakistan in the 1990s. However, a Pakistan court convicted him and announced a death sentence for allegedly killing at least 14 people in a bomb blast in Lahore and Faisalabad in 1990. However, the sentence was repeatedly postponed by the Pakistani government. While in prison at Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore in April 2013, Singh was attacked by fellow inmates–Amir Sarfraz alias Tamba and Mudassir Munir– with bricks and iron rods. He had succumbed to his injuries six days later at the Jinnah Hospital in Lahore.
This is a breaking story. More details will be added.
