Singh was convicted for alleged involvement in four bomb attacks in Punjab province that killed 14 people in 1990. Sarabjit’s family has denied the charges against him, saying he had crossed the border in an inebriated condition. Sarabjit’s execution was indefinitely put off following the intervention of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in 2008.
Meanwhile, a Pakistani court on Wednesday gave permission to the sister of Sarabjit Singh to meet him at Kot Lakhpat Jail.
