Two accused of killing Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan were shot dead on Sunday in Lahore, Pakistan, by unidentified gunmen. The accused were identified as Amir Sarfaraz Tamba and a close associate of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfit founder Hafiz Sayeed
As per media reports, Tamba was attacked by motorcycle-borne assailants in the Islampura area of Lahore in Pakistan. He was rushed to a hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Singh, 49, died of cardiac arrest in Jinnah Hospital Lahore in the wee hours of May 2, 2013, after being comatose for nearly a week following a brutal assault by inmates including Tamba, inside the high-security Kot Lakhpat jail. A group of Pakistani prisoners had attacked Singh with bricks and iron rods, PTI reported.
Singh had been allegedly found guilty of taking part in several bombings in Pakistan’s Punjab province in 1990 and was given the death penalty.
Tamba, born in Lahore in 1979 to Sarfaraz Javed, was closely linked to the founder of LeT.
