Aamir Sarfaraz, one of the suspects in the 2013 murder attack on Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh at Kot Lakhpat jail, died during treatment after being critically injured when unidentified motorcyclists opened fire on him on Sunday morning.
The incident occurred in Islampura, Lahore, and left Aamir Sarfaraz, alias Tamba, seriously injured.
Aamir Sarfaraz, aka Tamba's, death was verified by family sources, while medical sources stated that he died as a result of heavy bleeding. The deceased was shot four times, according to the sources.
The family also said he had been getting threats for some time and that two unidentified motorcycles entered the house and opened fire on him.
According to police reports, Tamba was shot twice in the chest and twice in the legs. Law enforcement has taken the body into custody and launched an investigation.
According to police, the incident occurred on Ganga Street in Islampura when two suspects on a motorbike entered Tamba's home and opened fire on him. Police stated he was quickly brought to a local hospital for immediate medical assistance while police hurried to the site, cordoning off the area in search of the attackers.
According to authorities, a first information report (FIR) of Tamba's attack has been filed at the Islampura police station based on a complaint by his brother, Junaid Sarfaraz. The case was filed under murder charges.
The brother stated that Tamba was on the upper floor of the house when the attackers opened fire at him. "One attacker was wearing a helmet, and the other was wearing a mask," he says in the FIR.
Tamba's involvement in the attack on Sarabjit Singh, a high-profile Indian death row prisoner, complicates the case. The attack on Singh drew widespread attention and controversy, and Tamba's subsequent injuries raise concerns about potential motivations and linkages.
