The Indian state appeared to have over-reacted over the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan, a former top spy said Saturday.


Amber Sen, a former special secretary in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), was delivering a lecture on terrorism at the International Centre in Panaji.

"The Indian state over-reacted," said Sen.

Sarabjit, who spent more than two decades in Pakistan on charges of being an Indian spy, died of severe head injuries following a murderous attack in a Lahore jail. He was given a state funeral in Punjab.
