09 September 2005 :

relatives of Manjit Singh, an Indian man sentenced to hang in Pakistan for spying, threatened to kill themselves if the execution was carried out.
"We will hang ourselves the day he is executed," his sister, Dalbir Kaur, said adding that her brother's two daughters and wife would also commit suicide.
Indian media reported that Pakistan's Supreme Court on August 18 upheld the death sentence for Manjit Singh for spying for India's intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing, and being involved in five bomb blasts in the country.
The family insisted Singh was not a spy and appealed to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to spare his life.
Kaur said the man's name was actually Sarabjit Singh, a farmer who lived in a village in the northern state of Punjab, who accidentally wandered into Pakistan in 1990.
"Our village is on the Indo-Pakistan border and, one day, Sarabjit accidentally strayed across and was caught and charged for spying," Kaur said. Singh had been in Pakistani custody ever since.
