Pakistan has granted second consular access to Sarabjit Singh, the Indian prisoner who is at a Lahore hospital in critical condition after being brutally attacked by a group of prisoners in jail on Friday.
It had initially not allowed Indian diplomats to visit Sarabjit, who is in deep coma and on ventilator support at the state-run Jinnah Hospital say that he has shown “no sign” of improvement and his chances of survival are “slim”. The 49-year-old is in deep coma after suffering a severe head injury.
Sarabjit’s family, who visited him in the hospital on Sunday, says that he was beaten with iron rods.
“Doctors say he needs a miracle,” his sister Dalbir Kaur told NDTV. The prisoner’s family has also requested the government to help move Sarabjit out of Pakistan urgently.
