New Delhi: There has been another India-Pakistan confrontation, this time over the death of Indian prisoner Chamel Singh. Government sources have told CNN-IBN that India has not received any reply from Pakistan on why it took two months to conduct Chamel Singh's autopsy.
In fact, CNN-IBN has learned that Pakistan has not yet responded to India's request for the autopsy. This comes as Pakistani authorities rejected India's claims that Singh died of torture at the Lahore jail.
The jail staff reiterated that his death was caused by a sudden stroke and heart attack. Singh, said to be in his sixties, was declared dead on arrival by doctors at the state-run Jinnah Hospital on January 15. His body was brought here from Pakistan on March 13.Pakistan on Monday offered bizarre explanation over the alleged torture and killing of Indian prisoner Chamel Singh in a local jail earlier this year.
An official of the ministry of foreign affairs said that Pakistan had invited Indian representatives to witness the post-mortem examination of Singh, who was allegedly tortured to death by inmates on January 15.
"We informed the Indian high commission to send their representatives during the post-mortem as we had nothing to hide. We are trying to ascertain the truth behind the allegations of torture and as soon as we receive the post-mortem report we will make it public," an official of the ministry said.
