Unidentified gunmen in Pakistan kill Sarfaraz Tamba accused of killing India's Sarabjit Singh in prison
Sarabjit Singh, the Indian prisoner killed in Lahore in 2013
Unidentified gunmen on Sunday (Apr 14) killed Amir Sarfaraz Tamba, the accused in the murder of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, in the Pakistani city of Lahore. Tamba had killed Sarabjit Singh back in 2013 and was a close aide of 26/11 attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
He was gunned down by bike-borne assailants in Lahore's Islampura area.
Tamba was rushed to a hospital in critical condition but was later declared dead.
In the murder case of Sarabjit Singh, Tamba was acquitted by a Pakistani court in the wake of a ‘lack of evidence’.
Who was Sarabjit Singh?
Sarabjit Singh was an Indian prisoner in Pakistan, detained by authorities there after he mistakenly crossed the border in an inebriated state.
