Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarabjit Singh who was sentenced to death for spying by a Pakistan court in 1991 and passed away in 2013 in Lahore, has died on Saturday night. 

Her last rites will be conducted on Sunday at Bhikhiwind in Punjab. 

Sarbjit Singh was a farmer from Bhikhiwind in Punjab near the India-Pakistan border, who mistakenly crossed over the border after having a couple of drinks. 

However, he was sentenced to death by a Pakistan court in 1991. 

Singh was kept in the Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore for 22 years and after that, he was beaten up by his inmates and was taken to hospital. 

Singh was declared dead by doctors at Lahore's Jinnah Hospital after being comatose for five days due to severe injuries in the head after an attack on him on the jail premises in 2013. 

During his 22 years in jail, his older sister Dalbir Kaur had fought against the system to release her brother. -- ANI
