Family of Indian ‘spy’ threatens suicide
AMRITSAR: The family of an Indian whose death sentence for spying has been upheld in Pakistan pleaded on Monday for his life, proclaiming his innocence and saying they will commit suicide if he is hanged.
The relatives of Sarabjit Singh have written to Indian President Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf asking them to intervene, said his sister Dalbir Kaur. Kaur said she had received a telephone call from a Pakistani lawyer, Rana Abdul Hamid, on Sunday confirming the death sentence. “We appeal to Indian President Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and all countrymen to evolve efforts for saving the life of my innocent brother Singh,” she told the Hindi news channel NDTV India.
Singh’s teenage daughter Swapandip said the family would commit suicide if he is hanged. “We have lost all hope. If he is executed, we will all kill ourselves,” Swapandip told NDTV. afp
