NEW DELHI, April 6: The case of condemned Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who is on a death row in a Pakistani jail for his alleged involvement in 1990 serial blasts in Lahore and Multan, appears to be one of mistaken identity, former Pakistani minister and UN Human Rights Council advisory committee member Ansar Burney has said, according to Press Trust of India.

“Prima facie, his case appears to be that of mistaken identity,” Mr Burney was quoted as telling reporters in Chandigarh on Friday after discussions with the Punjab State Human Rights Commission chairperson and its other members.

The minister had said he would soon take up the issue of Sarabjit, condemned as Indian spy Manjeet Singh, with the new government in Pakistan.
