Sarabjit Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran in Punjab, was killed by underworld don Amir Sarfaraz who was shot dead in Lahore, Pakistan. Swapandeep Kaur, his daughter, has come forward with her statement, indicating that Pakistan does not want the world to learn the truth, thus eliminating Sarfaraz.
It was reported that the wanted Pakistani underworld don Amir Sarfaraz was killed by two unidentified attackers in Lahore on a Sunday. Sarabjit Singh from Punjab was sentenced to death in Pakistan in 1990 on charges of espionage and bombings in Lahore and Faisalabad. After 23 years in Pakistan, he was murdered inside Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail in 2013.
'This is not justice...'
In an interview with Aaj Tak, Swapandeep said that the death of her father's killer isn't justice and desires a trial to unfold. She shared that her initial reaction to the news of the killer being shot in Lahore was contentment, but soon she realized, 'this is not justice.' Swapandeep argued for a case to uncover why Sarabjit Singh was killed and who was behind it.
'Pakistan doesn't want the truth to come out'
When asked about her reaction to Sarfaraz's death, Swapandeep told Aaj Tak that she first felt satisfied, but then thought it was not justice. She also accused the Pakistani government of orchestrating Sarabjit Singh's murder in 2013. Swapandeep mentioned if Sarabjit were released then, he would have exposed the mistreatment he suffered in Pakistan to the world.
'Murder orchestrated to hide the conspiracy'
She further stated that the Pakistani government might have been behind Amir Sarfaraz's assassination. Swapandeep claimed that if three or four people were involved in the brutal murder of her father, then the plot that occurred at that time was concealed by killing that man (Sarfaraz). She also recalled that her father’s last letters mentioned him being slowly poisoned and treated inhumanely behind bars.
'Sarabjit's diary was not sent with his body'
Referencing Sarabjit's letters, Swapandeep noted that jail authorities told him his bones would return to India but not him alive. Because India fought so hard for him, it was impossible for Pakistan to let him return safely. She added that a diary where Sarabjit Singh used to write about his experiences in the Pakistani jail, detailing extensively, was not sent along with his body after his death.
