Jaipur, February 20: A Pakistani prisoner lodged in Jaipur Central Jail was allegedly killed by the Indian inmates who were enraged over the Pulwama terror attack. The deceased has been identified as Shakar Ullah, who was lodged in the prison since 2011. Senior administration officials have rushed to the spot to probe the incident.

Preliminary probe, as cited in TV reports, has found that the Pakistani national was beaten to death by inmates, who were furious over the killing of 40 CRPF jawans in a terror attack orchestrated by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). 'If India Opens War Front, Pakistan Will Retaliate', Says Imran Khan.

At least two Indian prisoners have been identified for the gruesome murder, reports said citing jail sources.

Here's the report:

The murder of the Pakistani prisoner is likely to further plunge the bilateral ties between New Delhi and Islamabad -- which has hit an unprecedented low following the February 14 terror strike.

The killing also comes at a time when India has moved the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague seeking the acquittal, release and return of former naval commander Kulbhushan Jadhav -- who has been sentenced to death by Pakistan after convicting him of espionage.
