Pakistan on Wednesday expressed concern and sought response from India on reports of the killing of a Pakistani prisoner by Indian inmates in a jail in Rajasthan’s capital Jaipur.
According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO), Shakrullah was beaten to death by a group of Indian inmates in retaliation of the Pulwama incident.
“Pakistan is gravely concerned at media reports regarding the brutal killing of a Pakistani prisoner,” the FO said. It said the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi has officially raised the issue with the Indian authorities and requested them to urgently authenticate the report.
The response is still awaited, it added.
