NEW DELHI: Sanaullah Haq, the Pakistani prisoner who was attacked in an India prison in Jammu last week, died in the Chandigarh Hospital on Thursday, DawnNews reported.
“His condition was extremely critical. He died early morning,” a senior doctor at the hospital in Chandigarh told AFP.
Earlier, Doctors at PGI Chandigarh issued the report over the condition of Sanaullah Haq according to which the attacked prisoner was in a brain-dead state.
Sanaullah, who was convicted by an Indian court for involvement in separatist activities in the disputed Kashmir region, was attacked in an Indian prison by a court-martialled Indian soldier in retaliation to a similar incident in a Pakistani jail where some prisoners attacked Sarabjit Singh, who was a deathrow inmate in Pakistan convicted for terrorism charges related to a bombing in Faisalabad that had killed 14 people in 1990.
Moreover, the two family members of Sanaullah, had reached India on Tuesday after being granted permission from Indian officials.
The two family members were arrived in Chandigarh via the Wagah-Attari border, according to a statement by the Pakistan High Commission. His two teenage sons were not able to receive visas because they both don’t have ID cards
