Pak says no plan to shift Sarabjit abroad

ISLAMABAD, April 29, 2013 PTI





Pakistani officials on Monday dismissed a report that a medical board was considering a proposal to send abroad Indian death row convict Sarabjit Singh admitted in a Lahore hospital after a brutal assault — for treatment.



The four-member medical board headed by Jinnah Hospital chief executive Mahmood Shaukat conducted a routine examination of Sarabjit on Monday morning, officials said.



They rejected a media report that the board was mulling a proposal to send Sarabjit abroad for treatment.



"No such proposal has been under consideration," an official of the health department of Punjab province told PTI.



"In fact, the medical board has no mandate (to decide about sending Sarabjit abroad)," said the official, who did not want to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media.



The medical board is "minutely monitoring the patient" and Sarabjit is being given the "best treatment" at Jinnah Hospital, the official said.



Sources in the hospital told PTI that there had been "no improvement whatsoever" in Sarabjit's condition.



Sarabjit sustained several injuries, including a skull fracture, when six prisoners attacked him in Kot Lakhpat Jail on Friday.
