Jammu:
A Pakistani prisoner in the high security Kot Bhalwal jail here
was critically injured when he was attacked by a fellow prisoner,
police said Friday, a day after Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit
Singh died after being attacked in Lahore.
Sanaullah, a resident of Sialkot, was attacked by a former Indian
Army soldier, convicted for murder, following an altercation
Friday morning, a police officer said.
He received serious head injuries and was taken to the Government
Medical College Hospital in Jammu, where doctors said he had
slipped into a coma, much like Sarabjit Singh who was attacked in
a Lahore jail on April 26 and died Thursday.
"He has suffered serious head injuries and is in a coma. He has
been admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and we are planning
surgery on him as early as possible," a doctor at the hospital
said.
The administration has readied stand-by arrangements to shift
Sanaullah for specialised treatment outside Jammu and Kashmir "if
required", an official said
Police said Sanaullah was being tried for murder since the late
1990s for carrying out act of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
