Injured Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah dies in Indian hospital

A Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah, who was critically injured in an attack in a prison in the Indian-occupied jail by a retired Indian army soldier, died on Thursday.

The condition of injured Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah deteriorated further on Wednesday, Indian officials said.

Manju Wadwalkar, the public relations officer of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) hospital in Chandigarh of India said that the patient had become extremely critical yesterday.

He had developed renal failure with no urine output since Tuesday.

52-year-old Sanaullah had been undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit of PGIMER Hospital in Chandigarh city.

Sanaullah suffered multiple head injuries last week after being attacked by another inmate inside Kot Balwal jail of Indian-occupied Kashmir.

Following the attack he slipped into deep comma and was airlifted to PGIMER Chandigarh, a premier health institute in north India.

The attack on Sanaullah was seen as an apparent retaliation to the death of a convicted Indian spy Sarabjit Singh on Thursday. Singh was assaulted by a fellow prisoner inside a prison in Lahore of Pakistan on April 26.

Indian officials say there are 535 Indian prisoners in Pakistani jails and 272 Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails.

Two relatives of Sanaullah had gone to India to inquire about his health.

Pakistan is now making efforts to repatriate body of Sanaullah.
