Was it Sanaullah's insult to fellow inmate that resulted in attack?

Was it a saracastic comment over his fellow prisoner’s nationality and religion that resulted in the murderous assault on Pakistani inmate Sanaullah Ranjay? A report in the Hindu quotes unnamed prison officials as saying that the 64-year-old Sanaullah had just completed 14 years in jail on 3 May and was working as usual in the prison’s garden when fellow inmate Vinod Kumar approached him asking for a couple of bidis.

A former Hizbul Mujahideen militant, Sanuallah was arrested in 1999 and the court awarded him life term in 2009. The Pakistani prisoner, who was involved in bomb blasts in Jammu city, had also dug a tunnel with some other inmates to escape from Kot Balwal jail. He was taken to a hospital in Chandigarh but succumbed to his injuries. His body was taken to Pakistan where he was given a state funeral. with inputs from PTI
