LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani police are investigated the shooting death of a man who had been acquitted of killing accused Indian spy Sarabjit Singh in prison in 2013. Amir Tamba was killed Sunday by gunmen who entered his home in the eastern city of Lahore then fled. Pakistan has previously accused India’s intelligence agency of being involved in killings of Pakistanis inside Pakistan. Singh had been convicted of espionage and handed a death sentence in 1991. His family says he was innocent. He was fatally attacked by other inmates in 2013. Tamba and a second man were acquitted at their trial for Singh’s death. The Singh case inflamed tensions between nuclear-armed archrivals Pakistan and India.
