'Result of His Own Deeds': Sarabjit Singh's Daughter Suspects Pak Govt Behind Death Of Her Father's Killer

Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh’s daughter Swapandeep Kaur has said that the murder of Amir Sarfaraz Tamba, one of the accused who killed her father, could be a “conspiracy” of the Pakistani government.

Amir Sarfaraz Tamba, an accused in the murder of Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan Punjab’s Lahore on Sunday. Tamba was also said to be a close associate of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed.

Sarabjit Singh’s daughter Swapandeep Kaur said, “One of those who killed my father in jail has been killed… It is the result of his own deeds. But I also think that this is a conspiracy of the Pakistani government. It is possible that the killed person knew some secrets that they wanted to conceal… What else can be expected from a country which does not believe in human rights…”

Swapandeep further told India Today TV that her family wanted a trial to ascertain why Sarabjit Singh was killed and who was behind it. She stressed the possibility of the Pakistan government ordering the hit on Amir Sarfaraz to “conceal the conspiracy” that took place at the time of Sarabjit’s death in 2013.

According to reports, Tamba was attacked by assailants on motorcycles in the Islampura area. He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition but declared dead.

While CNN-News18 cannot independently verify this news, even the police have not yet confirmed it. However, it was reported by other news agencies like PTI citing official sources.

According to a PTI report, Tamba’s family members said two bike-borne men arrived at their house and shot him in the upper storey. His body bore four bullet wounds, two each in the chest and legs, the report said, adding while one of the gunmen was wearing a helmet, another had put up a mask on his face and both of them fled the scene after firing at him.
