There are so many innocent Pakistanis imprisoned in Indian jails on fabricated charges!
Why does PM Sheriff call his counter part and talk about the release of innocent Pakistanis in Indian jails?
National interest or Business interest, one wonders, why he is so silent on the issue!

Please ask for proof from Indian authorities of the dead man's guilt. If they can't substantiate, turn this into a human rights violation issue and nail the Indians in international fora. Indeed if they have valid reasons for arresting and detaining him and jailing him then ask for reasons that under which sections of the Indian law has he been tortured and eventually his life taken.

No one knows the truth because no one on either side cares about a poor man! If he dies in Indian custody, they should have investigated this fully and if they have not I am afraid the liability lies with them, whatever the cause his death!
