Amritsar: The second autopsy report of Sarabjit Singh has revealed that the Indian prisoner had suffered multiple fractures on his skull, ribs, jaw and grievous injuries to his back, doctors who performed the post-mortem last night in Amritsar, said today.
In a press conference this afternoon, doctors said that the injuries to Sarabjit's head had been caused by blunt weapons, and that the injuries indicate at least two attackers who had the intention to kill.
The doctors said they would not speculate on the cause of the death and have kept it pending. Head injuries are being treated as the provisional cause of death. An official statement by Pakistan had said that the cause of Sarabjit's death was cardiac arrest.
The doctors also revealed that his heart and kidney had been removed, but it may have been done as part of the first autopsy in Pakistan. India has asked Pakistan for that report as well.
Sarabjit Singh, 49, died at Lahore's Jinnah Hospital yesterday after a brutal attack by fellow inmates inside his barrack at the Kot Lakhpat Jail last Friday.
His last rites were held today in his ancestral village in Punjab and a three-day state mourning was announced.
