Amir Tanba – Inmate Who Killed Sarabjit Singh In Lahore Jail, Shot Dead​

In what’s being considered as an incident of targeted killing, unidentified gunmen on Sunday killed Amir Tanba, a key figure behind the killing of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail in 2013.

Amir Tanba was outside his residence at Islampura in Lahore when at least two unidentified motorcycle-borne gunmen opened fire, injuring him critically.

The latest killing of Sarabjit Singh’s killer Amir Tanba is being seen as a “revenge killing” done by hired killers.

According to local residents, Amir was critically injured by the gunshots and succumbed to his injuries even before he could be taken to hospital.

The locals also claimed that Amir had been receiving death threats for the last few days.

Amir, along with his fellow inmate Mudasir Munir, were accused of assaulting Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in April 2013.

It was reported that both inmates tortured Sarabjit Singh to death in the Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore.

But on December 15, 2013, a court acquitted both Amir and Munir after all the witnesses of the murder retracted their statements, leading to the release of the accused.

Inmates of the Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore, Amir and Munir attacked and tortured Sarabjit to death.

Sarabjit suffered severe head injuries from the torture done by blunt objects and bricks.

He was brought to Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital and kept in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for at least five days.

Later, Sarabjit Singh was declared as ‘dead’ by the medical board of senior neurosurgeons.

Other reports also indicated that Sarabjit Singh died on the route from the jail to the hospital on the first day of his torture by inmates and that the matter was dragged further to cover-up on the actual incident.

Sarabjit Singh was convicted of terrorism and spying by the Supreme Court of Pakistan for his involvement in a series of bombings in Lahore and Faisalabad during the 1990s.

The Lahore High Court first sentenced him to death while an appeal in the apex court was later rejected and the death sentence was retained in 1991.

I think RAW is behind this because they have already ordered targeted killings in Pakistan.

RAW killing with impunity and without any threat of retaliation now that the Americans have no interest in PAK.

RAW killing with impunity and without any threat of retaliation now that the Americans have no interest in PAK.

No it's because the Pak agencies are too busy dealing with their countrymen rather than external threats.

That too. Desperately trying to keep the country from crumbling. Basically , tantamount to the same thing. RAW is going to do their work , unchecked, for quite a while.

Pakistan probes shooting of accused in 2013 murder of alleged Indian spy​

Pakistani authorities are investigating the shooting of a man who had been acquitted of killing alleged Indian spy Sarabjit Singh in a Lahore prison in 2013, local media reports say.

Amir Tamba was critically injured in the shooting in the eastern city of Lahore on Sunday, Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper reported on Monday, quoting a police officer and Tamba’s younger brother, Sarfraz.

Several media reports in Pakistan and India on Sunday claimed Tamba was killed in the shooting.

Tamba was a suspect in the death of Singh, who was convicted of spying by a military court in Pakistan and handed a death sentence in 1991. But Singh died in 2013 after inmates attacked him in the Lahore prison.

Singh’s killing inflamed tensions between the two South Asian nuclear-armed rivals. Tamba and a second man went on trial for Singh’s death but were acquitted in 2018 due to lack of evidence.

The deputy inspector general of police in Lahore, Ali Nasir Rizvi, said gunmen entered Tamba’s house and shot him. They fled the scene on a motorbike.

There are conflicting accounts of what happened after that. According to the Dawn report, Sarfraz informed the police of the shooting who took his brother to a local hospital.

But The Associated Press news agency in its report said officials from Pakistan’s army and intelligence agency reached the site of the incident and took Tamba to the city’s Combined Military Hospital.

The Dawn report said Tamba received three bullet wounds, including two on his chest, and is believed to be in a critical condition. It added that police did not confirm if he was recuperating at the military hospital.

Rizvi said a case had been lodged against unidentified assailants but gave no further information about the case, including a possible motive for the attack.

There was slow coverage of Tamba’s shooting in Pakistan’s media on Sunday. However, Indian outlets were quick to report on the incident. There was no immediate comment from the Indian authorities.

Pakistan has previously accused India’s intelligence agency of being involved in targeted killings inside Pakistan, saying it had credible evidence linking two Indian agents to the deaths of two Pakistanis last year.

Singh was arrested in 1990 for his role in a series of bombings in Lahore and Faisalabad that killed 14 people. His family said he was innocent.

Last year, both the United States and Canada accused Indian agents of links to assassination plots on their soil. India dismissed the allegation of its involvement in the killing in Canada as “absurd”.

In the case involving the US, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said it had set up a high-level committee to investigate the accusations, adding that the alleged link to an Indian official was “a matter of concern” and “against government policy”.

Naqvi suspects Indian involvement in Amir Tamba attack​

Tamba succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during an assault at his residence in Lahore’s Islampura yesterday.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) regional office in Lahore on Monday, Naqvi indicated that while the police are actively investigating the attack on Tamba, there are strong indications pointing towards Indian involvement. Naqvi cited India's alleged implication in four previous murder incidents similar to Tamba's as grounds for suspicion in this case.

Naqvi stressed importance of refraining from conclusive statements until the investigation concludes, yet he underscored the apparent pattern linking these attacks to India.

In a separate incident last October, unidentified assailants fatally shot Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) leader Shahid Latif and his security guards in a mosque in Daska. Latif was accused of orchestrating the 2016 Pathankot airbase attack.

Furthermore, in June 2021, a car bombing outside the residence of Hafiz Saeed, leader of the banned Jamatul Dawat (JeD), resulted in multiple casualties. Pakistan had previously accused India's state agency RAW of involvement in these attacks.

Switching topics, Naqvi addressed plans to streamline immigration processes at Lahore airport by increasing counters and introducing electronic gates for passport scanning, aiming to expedite the procedures for travelers.

Additionally, steps are being taken to tackle overbilling of electricity, with assurances from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to support the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in rectifying the issue.

Naqvi also highlighted ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking, acknowledging the need for intensified measures. He commended the Karachi and Sindh Police for their vigorous crackdown on street crimes and advocated for legislation to curb misuse of social media platforms.

Earlier, Naqvi inaugurated the Shaheed Shahzad Younas Investigation block, named after the late Inspector Shahzad Younas, in tribute to his service. The minister toured the newly inaugurated block along with FIA Director General Ahmad Ishaque Jehangir and other officials.

Jail inmates may also have enemies in real life. Money dispute, drugs angle, police, people he may have wronged in the past, so many possibilities. Unless he is a high profile target, would any intelligence agency risk it going after him? Low hanging fruit.

Motorcycle born gunmen are usually MO of trained killers. Not saying it is RAW however, in a country like Pakistan which is run by a shadow establishment, it can be quite difficult to understand who is operating and who's purposes are being served.

 

[Major]

Deserved it. He had no authority to kill anyone, and plus the legal system allowed him to go scott free.

Anyways, criminals have enemies, so it doesnt have to be some RAW operative.
