SIALKOT: The funeral prayers of Shakirullah, a Pakistani prisoner killed in India’s Jaipur Central Jail were offered in Daska, Sialkot on Sunday. Indian authorities handed over his body to Punjab Rangers at the Wagah-Attari border on Saturday. Pakistan had lodged a strong protest with the Pakistani High Commission and sought an explanation from Indian authorities regarding the incident. “It is incomprehensible how a ‘scuffle’ between prisoners in an established government set up was allowed to escalate to the extent that Mr Shakirullah sustained fatal injuries,” the statement said. According to The Hindu, the deceased was undergoing life imprisonment after his conviction in a terror-related case in Jaipur in 2017.
