Just in: At the Wagah border, Indian officials receive Kirpal Singh's body.
The body of the Indian prisoner who died in a Pakistan jail under mysterious circumstance will be taken to the Integrated Check Post for documentation and other formalities. The body will then be taken for an autopsy to verify the actual cause of death. The Pakistan government has said that Kirpal Singh died of a heart attack, but his family refute the claim.

On April 15, family members of Kirpal Singh met Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who assured them of all help to bring back his mortal remains.

Kirpal Singh, 55, was found dead under unknown circumstances at Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore on April 11. Pakistan authorities, however, have ruled out any foul play and have claimed that Kirpal complained of chest pain after which he was admitted to a hospital where he was declared dead.

Singh was languishing in the Pakistani jail for nearly 25 years on spying charges.
