On March 2, the government of India had handed over the dead body of Shakirullah to Pakistani authorities at Wagha Border.
Shakirullah was in Indian jail since 2001. However, he was murdered by inmates in Jaipur Jail on February 20 after India leveled false allegations against Pakistan of being involved in the Pulwama attack.
The government of Pakistan condemned the incident and requested India to immediately provide the details of inquiry of the murder and post-mortem report, which have not been provided so far.
