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’.

<h2>Who was Sarabjit Singh?</h2>

Sarabjit Singh was an Indian prisoner in Pakistan, detained by authorities there after he mistakenly crossed the border in an inebriated state.

Later, he was sentenced to death by a Pakistani court for his alleged role in bomb blasts in Pakistan's Punjab province in 1990, a charge repeatedly denied by the Indian government.

However, Singh was attacked by inmates with bricks and rods in the high-security jail of Kot Lakhpat&nbsp;and he died of cardiac arrest in Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, on May 2, 2013.
