The postmortem of Kirpal Singh, who died in a Pak jail, was done at the Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan.

The mortal remains of the Indian prisoner who died under mysterious circumstances in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, will be handed over to India today.

Family members of Kirpal Singh had on last week met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to express their concerns over the gruesome treatment meted out to Indians languishing in Pakistani jails.

The Home Minister, after the meeting, assured them that all concerns related to the bringing of the body of Kirpal Singh back from Pakistan will be properly addressed.

External Affair Minister Sushma Swaraj had earlier assured the kin of Kirpal Singh that India would get his body back home.

Kirpal Singh's family had earlier rejected Pakistan's claim that he died of a heart attack and demanded a post-mortem to ascertain the true facts behind his sudden death.
