New Delhi/Chandigarh, May 6 (ANI): With Islamabad seeking the evacuation of Sanaullah, who was attacked in a Jammu jail by fellow inmates last week, India on Monday said the Pakistani prisoner's medical condition is such that it does not permit any movement.
"My understanding is that the doctors had examined the condition of the Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay and they felt his condition is such that it does not permit any movement. So, medical condition is such that it precludes any movement of the prisoner," MEA official spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
Pakistan's High Commissioner to India, Salman Bashir, will be visiting the Pakistani prisoner admitted in a critical condition at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, today.
The Pakistani prisoner continued to be 'critically sick' and in 'deep coma' yesterday.
Pakistani High Commission officials had earlier last week visited the comatose prisoner after India granted them consular access.
Sanaullah was injured during a scuffle with another inmate in Jammu jail earlier on Friday morining where he was serving life term after being convicted under TADA provisions.
He was arrested in 1999. A resident of Sialkot in Pakistan, Sanaullah was immediately shifted from the high-security Kot Bhalwal jail to Government Medical College Hospital, and later rushed to PGIMER in Chandigarh in an air ambulance after doctors said his condition was critical.
The incident involving Sanaullah came a day after the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who was brutally attacked on April 26 by six Pakistani inmates in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail. (ANI)
