The Pakistani prisoner's condition worsened on Wednesday after he suffered a kidney failure.

Sanaullah, 52, a convicted terrorist serving a life sentence in Jammu's Kot Bhalwal jail, was undergoing treatment at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh.

Doctors had late Wednesday said: "He has developed renal failure with no urine output since morning. Hence, he was put on peritoneal dialysis by Nephrologists."

A resident of Sialkot in Pakistan, 52-year-old Ranjay was serving a life term after he was convicted under TADA provisions following his arrest in 1999.

The assault on him came a day after the death of an Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who was brutally attacked by fellow inmates in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail.

Sanaullah's relatives, brother-in-law Mohammed Sehzaad and nephew Mohammed Asif, who arrived here on Tuesday, visited him on Wednesday for about 10 minutes in the Advanced Trauma Centre of PGIMER.
