India News: Indian death row convict Sarabjit Singh is in "deep coma" and has been put on ventilator support with doctors on Saturday saying that they won't be able to perform surgery on him till his condition stabilises.

Sarabjit, 49, is in the intensive care unit of the state-run Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, where he was admitted on Friday after being brutally beaten with blades and pieces of a ghee tin by at least six other prisoners within his barrack at the Kot Lakhpat Jail.
