Pakistan has rejected the Indian report regarding death of Pakistani prisoner Shakir Ullah in Jaipur jail.

Indian authorities had informed Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi that Shakir Ullah sustained injuries following a scuffle between fellow inmates in the television room in the jail, which proved fatal.

However, according to some Indian media reports he was lynched.

Foreign Office Spokesperson in a statement said it is incomprehensible how a scuffle between prisoners in an established Government set up was allowed to escalate to the extent that Shakir Ullah sustained fatal injuries.

Security and safety of Pakistani inmates/prisoners in Indian jails is the responsibility of the Government of India which should have taken enhanced measures to prevent this.

The Spokesman said Indian government must provide enhanced security to ensure safety of all Pakistanis, especially Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails.

He said prevention of recurrence of such tragic and reprehensible incidents must also be ensured.
