For the unversed, Amir Sarfaraz was also known as Tamba, an underworld figure from Pakistan.
As per several reports, Amir is said to have been attacked by assailants riding motorcycles, at his Lahore residence.
For the uninitiated, Sarabjit Singh, who was a resident of Punjab, had crossed the border into Pakistan while working in his fields. He was then accused of being involved in bomb blasts in Pakistan’s Punjab province in 1990 and was sentenced to death.
Talking to news agency IANS, Randeep shared, “While doing the Sarabjit biopic it was always a very tragic feeling that when things were on the verge of working out to extradite him to India and get him back home to his family he was murdered in the jail."
“Hearing about his attacker being killed, I wonder what Dalbir ji (Sarabjit’s sister) would have felt. I’m sure it would have been a feeling of some justice served after she fought to get him for years on end," he added.
Sarabjit, who was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 1991, had spent two decades in prison for alleged terrorism and spying where he was eventually murdered.
