After spending 18 years in Pakistan jail, Sarabjit was sentenced to death by Pakistan court. After the declaration of this sentence, Sarabjit made a mercy appeal to President Parvez Musharraf. But a few weeks back, that appeal was dismissed by the President office & Sarabjit who was waiting for his release in Kot Lakhpat jail, had to face death warrant. Some new obstacles have come that have obstructed his release. For example, last days an Indian citizen Kashmir Singh who was in Pakistan jail was released. Kashmir Singh was also accused of spying in Pakistan. But after spending more than 20 years in Pak jail, he was released on March 8.

On reaching the native land, Kashmir Singh was too excited, it is said that he gave some statements that proved harmful for Sarabjit who is in Pak jail.

Second loss came to Sarabjit when a cricket lover, Khalid Mehmood 35, from Lahore, who came to India in April 2005, didn't go back to Pakistan even after the time period allowed staying in his visa, died here in custody. He was arrested in Faridabad under doubtful circumstances & was sent to Bhondsi jail near Delhi. Unfortunately, Khalid Mehmood died of liver disease on February 12 this year. Just within the few days of sending Khalid Mehmood's dead body to Pakistan by government of India, a death warrant of Sarabjit was sent to Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore. It was given a good time by Pakistan media saying that his death was not natural but he was killed, whereas the government of India had told the government of Pakistan that he died because of his fatal disease. He had vomited blood before his death. After this incident, there was discussion in Pak media that Pakistan has given Kashmir Singh alive to India & in return India hands over the dead body of young Khalid Mehmood to Pakistan.

Despite all these fatal incidents in the life of Sarabjit, there is probability that Pakistan government will not hang him.
