Amritsar: The body of Indian prisoner Kirpal Singh, who died under mysterious circumstances at a Lahore jail last week, was handed over to Indian authorities by Pakistan on Tuesday.
The mystery over his death, however, continues as the postmortem conducted at Amritsar Medical College could not arrive at a conclusion over the cause of this death.
The autopsy, which was conducted by a team of three doctors, says there were no external or internal injury marks on the body.
"Prima-facie there is no foul play but we can say conclusively about his cause of death after getting reports from Jinnah hospital and viscera report," Dr Ashok Chanana, Head of autopsy team of Amritsar Medical College, said.
Kirpal Singh was lodged in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, right next to that of Sarabjit's cell, who was killed in 2013 by Pakistani inmates.
Lahore jail authorities have returned all the belongings of Kirpal Singh to his family, which includes a letter which the prisoner couldn't post.
In 1992, Kirpal Singh was caught by Pakistani Rangers near the India-Pakistan border. He was alleged to have been involved in a bombing at Faisalabad railway station and sentenced to death for spying and terrorism in Pakistan.
