A Pakistani prisoner was found dead on Wednesday in Jaipur Central Jail following a “brawl” with other inmates.

Shakar Ullah lodged here since 2011, died after a brawl with other inmates over TV volume, reports stated.

This comes at a time when there is a growing resentment against Pakistan following the February 14 Pulwama terror attack in which at least 44 CRPF personnel were killed and several others injured.

Earlier, Pakistani nationals were ordered to leave Rajasthan’s Bikaner district within 48 hours in the aftermath of the terror attack.

The order issued by the district administration also prohibited hotels in the border area from allowing Pakistan citizens to check-in.

Indian citizens have been asked not to employ any Pakistan citizens and not have any direct or indirect business relationship with the neighbouring country.

Massive anti-Pakistan protests rocked different parts of the country in the wake of the Pulwama attack.

Curfew was imposed in Jammu after protests turned violent with people torching vehicles and damaging several others.

Over 44 CRPF personnel were killed and many injured on February 14 in one of the deadliest terror strikes in Jammu and Kashmir when a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) suicide bomber blew up an explosive-laden vehicle near their bus in Pulwama district.

The bus was part of a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying around 2500 CRPF personnel from Jammu to Srinagar.
