Pakistani prisoner attacked in Indian jail
May 03, 2013
Friday's attack comes a day after a convicted Indian spy Sarabjit died after being bludgeoned with a brick by fellow inmates at a Pakistani prison a week ago.
The official, who cannot be named because he does not have permission to speak to reporters, says the prisoner, Sanaullah, is in critical care in a hospital in Jammu city.
Sanaullah, who goes by one name, was imprisoned in 1999 and in 2009 sentenced to life in prison for being a Pakistani militant operating in Indian Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the Indian External Affairs Ministry has allowed access to the Pakistani High Commission and the Jail superintendent has been suspended.
