The special Air India aircraft carrying the body of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh has left for Amristar.
The body was flown out of the Lahore International Airport after receiving clearance from Pakistani authorities.
Indian High Commission officials had earlier in the day received the body of Sarabjit after an autopsy was performed at the Jinnah Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries today at 1:30 AM (IST).
Sarabjit, the second Indian prisoner to die in Pakistan's notorious Kot Lakhpat jail here in Lahore this year, was brutally attacked on Friday by six fellow inmates as he and other prisoners were brought out of their cells for a break.
Sarabjit died of cardiac arrest after being comatose for nearly a week following the assault.
