Authorities should pay heed & do the needful to ensure their safety,” said the Mirwaiz on Twitter.

50-year-old Shakir Ullah from Sialkot who had spent eight years in the jail was killed yesterday after three convicts bashed his head against a stone on the ground, reportedly during a brawl over TV volume.
