Amir Tamba, who was acquitted in Sarabjit Singh’s killing, is critically injured in Lahore shooting, media reports say.
Pakistani authorities are investigating the shooting of a man who had been acquitted of killing alleged Indian spy Sarabjit Singh in a Lahore prison in 2013, local media reports say.
Amir Tamba was critically injured in the shooting in the eastern city of Lahore on Sunday, Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper reported on Monday, quoting a police officer and Tamba’s younger brother, Sarfraz.
Several media reports in Pakistan and India on Sunday claimed Tamba was killed in the shooting.
Tamba was a suspect in the death of Singh, who was convicted of spying by a military court in Pakistan and handed a death sentence in 1991. But Singh died in 2013 after inmates attacked him in the Lahore prison.
Singh’s killing inflamed tensions between the two South Asian nuclear-armed rivals. Tamba and a second man went on trial for Singh’s death but were acquitted in 2018 due to lack of evidence.
