Pakistani inmate killed in Indian jail

21 Feb, 2019

Indian prisoners stoned to death a Pakistani inmate in a jail Wednesday amid mounting tensions over a suicide bombing that Delhi has blamed on its arch-rival neighbour, an official said. The Pakistani had been eight years into a life term at Jaipur Central Jail in the western state of Rajasthan when he was attacked. He was stoned to death after a quarrel, Rajasthan state director general of police Kapil Garg told AFP.
The killing came amid calls for retribution across India over a car bombing in occupied Kashmir last Thursday which killed at least 40 Indian paramilitaries.
