Killer of Sarabjit Singh shot dead by 'unknown' men in Pakistan's Lahore

Lahore: Amir Sarfaraz alias Tamba, the killer of Indian national Sarabjit Singh in jail, was shot dead by unknown men in Lahore. According to the sources, Tamba was attacked by motorcycle-borne assailants in the Islampura area of Lahore in Pakistan and was rushed in critical condition to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, the sources said.

Sarabjit was born in Bhikhiwind, a region located along the Indo-Pakistani border in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab. According to Indian authorities, he was a farmer, who had strayed into Pakistan in the early 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 death 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. Although the matter turned political ever since Sarabjit got the death sentence, the relations between the two nations poised to a new low in 2013 following his murder in jail. His sister, Dalbir Kaur, had fought a tough long battle to secure the release of his brother from the neighbouring nation, but failed. She later died in 2022 in Amritsar.
