The body of Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay, who succumbed to injuries at a Chandigarh hospital was brought back to his native town Sialkot on Thursday.
A special plane brought the former prisoner’s body back to Pakistan.
Earlier, the Indian home minister had said India would hand over the body to Pakistan.
Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters said the Ministry of External Affairs was coordinating with Pakistani authorities to complete the formalities to send back his body home. “Once the formalities are done, we will hand over the body,” he said.
Indian officials said a detailed post-mortem of Sanaullah, 52, would be done in Chandigarh and the travel arrangements would be made as per the request made by Pakistan.
Indian government has been informed that Pakistan was arranging an aircraft to fly his body back home, officials said, adding that if they arranged “a non-military registered plane, the clearance would be prompt”.
Sanaullah, a convicted, serving life sentence, was injured by former Indian army soldier in the high-security Kot Balwal jail in Jammu and rushed to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh last Friday.
