 Ranjay’s body was flown by a special Pakistani plane to the city of Sialkot later Thursday for burial, Pakistan TV reported. A Pakistan foreign ministry statement said the brutal manner in which Ranjay was attacked in the jail was most unfortunate. It demanded that India investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Omar Abdullah, top elected official of the Indian portion of Kashmir where Ranjay was attacked, offered his apology to his family and expressed his sympathies for their loss. Syed Ali Geelani, a top Kashmiri separatist leader, said in Srinagar that the assault on Ranjay was a planned revenge attack and called for peaceful protests and special prayers on Friday.
