Amir Sarfaraz who killed Indian national Sarabjit Singh has been killed in Lahore, Pakistan, according to a report. Singh, who was imprisoned in Kot Lakhpat Jail passed away in 2013 following a brutal attack involving bricks, sharp metal sheets, iron rods, and blades.
During his twenty years in Pakistan’s prison, his sister Dalbir Kaur waged a relentless battle against the system to secure her brother’s release. Kaur insisted that her brother was wrongly identified and launched a legal campaign to repatriate him to India. Her determined efforts soon garnered widespread attention from both national and international media outlets.
Sarabjit Singh was a farmer from Bhikhiwind town in Punjab, living near the India-Pakistan border. He accidentally crossed the border while intoxicated. Sarabjit was arrested in Pakistan for spying and was given the death penalty by a Pakistani court in 1991.
Amir Sarfaraz whose father is named Sarfaraz Javed was born in Lahore in 1979 and died aged 45. Amir Sarfaraz, recognized as a prominent figure in Lahore was allegedly responsible for orchestrating assault under the instructions of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.
In December 2018, a Pakistani court acquitted two main suspects – Amir Sarfraz, also known as Tamba, and Mudassar in the murder case of Sarabjit Singh due to a “lack of evidence” against them.
The Lahore Sessions Court delivered its verdict after all witnesses withdrew their testimonies. Not a single witness provided evidence against the suspects in court. Therefore, the court acquitted them due to insufficient evidence.
