New Delhi: Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarabjeet Singh, the Indian prisoner who was killed in a Lahore jail, on Tuesday demanded that all his belongings and the money that he had earned through labour in the Pakistani prison should be brought back home.
Kaur spoke to Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde asking him to bring back his clothes and other items he had kept with him during his stay in Lahore's infamous Kot Lakhpat jail back to India.
"The Home Minister assured that everything will be brought back from Pakistan as soon as possible," she told reporters after meeting Shinde. Kaur also said that a memorial will be constructed in Sarabjeet's village in Punjab and all his belongings and the money which he had earned will be kept there as memorabilia.
Sarabjeet was convicted by a Pakistani court after his arrest for terrorism in 1991 and was jailed in Pakistan till he was attacked by fellow inmates in April 2013. A few days after the attack, he had died in a hospital in Lahore.
However, India had been maintaining that Sarabjeet was a farmer who strayed into Pakistan from his village located along the border in an inebriated condition.
