Amir Sarfaraz Tamba, a key figure accused in the murder of Indian national Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan, was fatally shot by unidentified gunmen in Lahore today. Official sources confirm that Tamba, known to be associated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfit founder Hafiz Saeed, succumbed to his injuries after being attacked by assailants on motorcycles in Lahore's Islampura area.

The incident harks back to the tragic demise of Sarabjit Singh in 2013, who passed away in Lahore's Jinnah Hospital due to a heart attack. Singh had been in a coma for nearly a week following a brutal assault by fellow inmates, including Tamba, within Lahore's high-security Kot Lakhpat jail.

Born in Lahore in 1979, Tamba's close affiliation with Hafiz Saeed's LeT has been a matter of concern. He was reportedly involved in several bombings in Pakistan's Punjab province in 1990, for which he received the death penalty.

The attack on Sarabjit Singh, orchestrated by a group of Pakistani prisoners wielding bricks and iron rods, shed light on the vulnerability of inmates within the prison system. Singh's case stirred diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan, with India vehemently advocating for justice.

Tamba's demise comes as a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding Sarabjit Singh's murder case, albeit raising questions about the safety and security of prisoners within Pakistan's correctional facilities.

Authorities are expected to launch a thorough investigation into Tamba's assassination to apprehend the perpetrators and shed light on the circumstances surrounding his demise.
