Autopsy: Indian in Pak jail suffered injuries

The report states that traces of four injuries were found on the body,including a fracture of the right knee,an abrasion of 1.5 cm to 2 cm on the left knee joint,an abrasion over the upper lip and scars on the thigh,sources told PTI on Monday. A chemical examination to ascertain the exact cause of death will be conducted later,the sources said.

Singh,said to be in his sixties,was declared dead on arrival by doctors at the state-run Jinnah Hospital on January 15. He was serving a five-year prison term at Kot Lakhpat Jail for alleged involvement in espionage.

Tehseen Khan,a lawyer who recently completed a 42-month sentence for fraud at the jail,claimed Singh died after being beaten by prison staff. Prison officials have refuted the claim and said Singh died of an apparent heart attack.
