India grants visas to relatives of Pak prisoner Sanaullah

Indian High Commission in Islamabad has granted visa to two relatives of Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay who got critically injured in a scuffle with another inmate in a Jammu jail. Official sources said in Islamabad that Sanaullah's brother-in-law and cousin had applied for visa yesterday to visit India. 52-year-old Sanaullah, a resident of Sialkot in Pakistan, is serving a life term after being convicted under the provisions of TADA following his arrest in 1999. He was injured during a scuffle in high-security Kot Balwal jail in Jammu on Friday and was immediately shifted to PGIMER in Chandigarh in an air ambulance after doctors said his condition was critical. He was attacked a day after the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who was brutally assaulted by six inmates in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail.
