Sarabjit Singh: Tragic Tale of Cross-Border Injustice and Amir Sarfraz's Fatal Attack

According to information obtained by India Today TV, Pakistani underworld kingpin Amir Sarfraz, who is suspected of killing Indian national Sarabjit Singh in a Lahore jail, was attacked on Sunday in Lahore by those who are not yet known to be named. As a result, he died.

In 1990, Sarabjit Singh was taken into custody in Pakistan on suspicion of spying. Sources told India Today TV that two unknown people killed the Pakistani underworld boss who killed Sarabjit Singh on Sunday in a Lahore jail.

At about 1:30 pm on Sunday, gunmen on motorbikes attacked Amir Sarfraz, a well-known figure in Pakistan's underworld, at his residence in the Islam Pura neighborhood of Lahore. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, according to sources, and later passed away from them.

The attackers reportedly rang the doorbell, and when Amir Sarfraz answered, they went into the house and shot him many times, killing him.

Born in Lahore in 1979, Amir Sarfraz was linked to the person who founded Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). His involvement in instances involving the trafficking of drugs and property brought him notoriety as the "real don" of Lahore and a member of the "Truckanwala Gang."

Sarabjit Singh was allegedly attacked in jail by Amir Sarfraz and other others. But in 2018, a Pakistani court found him not guilty because there was "lack of evidence" against him.

Punjabi native Sarabjit Singh was given the death penalty for his suspected role in bombings in the Punjab state of Pakistan in 1990 that claimed the lives of at least 14 Pakistani citizens. His family and Indian officials fiercely refuted these accusations, saying he crossed the border by accident while farming.

In May 2013, after serving over twenty years in Pakistani prisons, Sarabjit Singh passed away from his wounds. After being detained for 23 years in Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore, he was attacked by other prisoners—possibly including Amir Sarfraz.

After the incident, a group of detainees pelted a 49-year-old man with bricks, causing severe head injuries. The guy was admitted to Jinnah Hospital in Lahore. A few days later, he passed away from his wounds, and his body was returned to India.

Sarabjit Singh's older sister Dalbir Kaur fought tenaciously for her brother's freedom during his imprisonment.

In the 2016 Hindi feature film "Sarbjit," the moving story of Indian native Sarabjit Singh is explored. Singh was falsely convicted of being involved in bomb attacks and imprisoned in Pakistan. The film chronicles Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur's valiant efforts to secure her brother's release, despite significant obstacles and the intricacies of Indo-Pak relations.

In key parts played by critically acclaimed actors Randeep Hooda and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, "Sarbjit" depicts the mental anguish that Sarabjit and his family endured throughout his protracted incarceration. The film is a potent illustration of the enduring strength of familial love and resiliency in addition to shedding light on the injustices suffered by those caught in the crossfire of political conflicts.

"Sarbjit" not only honours the life of Sarabjit Singh but also starts a dialogue on the need for compassion and justice in a world where division is growing thanks to its gripping story and outstanding performances.
