Indian High Commission officials yesterday visited Sarabjit Singh for the second time after permission was granted by Pakistani authorities following an initial denial.

A spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs said, the officials visited Singh in Lahore's Jinnah hospital.

The Pakistani doctors treating a comatose Sarabjit Singh have said, there has been no improvement in his condition and chances of his survival are slim.

More than 45 hours, after Sarabjit was admitted to the Hospital with a severe head injury following a brutal assault in the prison, there has been no sign of recovery. His distraught family visited him and demanded that he be sent to India for better treatment.

Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur, wife Sukhpreet Kaur and daughters Swapandeep and Poonam, visited him at the hospital after arriving in Lahore yesterday. They were allowed to see him through a window from outside the intensive care unit.

Sarabjit was attacked by at least six other prisoners within his barrack at Kot Lakhpat Jail on Friday . He was hit on head with bricks and his face and torso cut with weapons fashioned from spoons and pieces of ghee tins.

The Indian chapter of Pakistan-India People's Forum for Peace and Democracy has condemned the brutal attack on Sarabjit Singh and sought a probe to go to the bottom of the attack in order to punish those responsible for this brutal attack.
