 Britain has expelled a Pakistani man who assassinated India's Deputy High Commissioner Ravindra Mhatre in 1984. Raja Abdul Qayyum, convicted by a British court for assassinating Mhatre in Birmingham, returned to Pakistan on Wednesday, the Daily Times reported.
So does he go to a Pak jail or someone's guesthouse?| To me, it woulda made more sense to ship him off to India. They'd probably be able to figure what to do with him. |
Raja Qayyum was among six men convicted of abducting Mhatre to pressure the Indian government into releasing Kashmiri separatist leader Maqbool Butt, who led the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). British law enforcement officials arrested Raja Qayyum and a court awarded him 18 years' rigorous imprisonment. Mhatre was killed after the Indian government refused to give in to the demands of the terrorists. Butt was later hanged in Delhi's Tihar Jail for his role in terrorist activity. |
