Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who was attacked by fellow inmates in Lahore jail last week, has been declared brain dead, sources at Jinnah Hospital said on Tuesday.

Sarabjit's sister Dilbir Kaur, who has been in Pakistan, called up her contacts back in India to say that the doctors treating him have sought her permission seeking to remove him from the ventilator support.

Sources said that Dalbir and Sarabjit's other relatives are likely to return to India by Wednesday.
