Sanaullah Ranjay: Pakistan inmate family visit India
The family of a Pakistani prisoner who was attacked by a fellow inmate at a high-security prison in Indian-administered Kashmir is due to visit him in hospital, reports say.
Sanaullah Ranjay's condition in an intensive care unit at a hospital in Chandigarh city continues to be "critical", doctors say.
Ranjay suffered injuries in the attack at Kot Bhalwal jail in Jammu last week.
He has been in prison for the past 17 years on militancy-related charges.
Police said Ranjay was attacked by a former Indian army soldier convicted of murder on Friday morning after a row between the two men.
Pakistan High Commission spokesman Manzoor Ali Memon told AFP news agency that Ranjay's relatives from Pakistan were due to visit him in hospital on Tuesday.
The Press Trust of India news agency reported that the Indian High Commission in Islamabad had granted visas to Ranjay's brother-in-law and cousin.
On Monday, Pakistan's top diplomat in India, Salman Bashir, visited Ranjay at the hospital.
"His condition is critical. The outcome [chance of survival] is bleak," Mr Bashir told reporters.
The attack on Ranjay happened on a day when an Indian prisoner, convicted of spying in Pakistan and killed in a Pakistani jail last week, was cremated in India.
Sarabjit Singh, sentenced to death by Pakistan in 1991, died after being attacked with bricks by inmates in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail.
Pakistan's government has expressed "deep concern" over the attack on Ranjay and said it was "obvious retaliation" for the killing of Sarabjit Singh.
