Initial probe suggests India behind killing of Amir Sarfraz Tamba: Mohsin Naqvi

LAHORE: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that India is allegedly behind the murder of Amir Sarfraz Tamba, who was accused of killing Indian terrorist Sarabjit Singh in jail in 2013.

During the press conference on Monday, Mohsin Naqvi added that the evidence of Aamir Tamba’s murder was traced back to India as the neighboring country was involved in four other murders as well before Tamba’s killing.

Furthermore, Interior Minster while addressing the presser at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) office in Lahore said, “Police are investigating the attack on Amir Tamba by an unidentified assailant and so far, they suspect India is behind it.”

“India was involved in four other murder incidents on a similar pattern as well. However, it will not be suitable to say anything until the investigation is complete,” he quoted.
