A judicial commission, probing the murder of Indian spy Sarabjit Singh in Kot Lakhpat Jail, has recorded the statements of 38 witnesses so far.
The inspector general of prisons, the superintendent of Kot Lakhpat Jail and other prison officials have testified before the one-man commission of Justice Mazhar Ali Akbar Naqvi of the Lahore High Court, an official statement said.
The commission is holding day-to-day proceedings. On May 2, Singh succumbed to the injuries he sustained during an attack by several prisoners.
The commission has also issued notices to Sarabjit’s relatives through the Foreign Ministry to record their statements and to produce evidence they have regarding the incident.
So far, Sarabjit’s family has not shown interest in getting the statements recorded, officials said. The commission is yet to quiz the two prisoners accused of involvement in the brutal murder.
