Dalbir Kaur's brother Sarabjit Singh was convicted by a Pakistani court for terrorism and espionage. He was sentenced to death in 1991. However, later in 2008, the Pakistan government had indefinitely stayed the execution of Sarabjit.
Kaur had made a lot of efforts to get her brother out of jail and fought a long struggle from India to Pakistan. Despite so, Sarabjit was killed in April 2013, after prisoners attacked him in Lahore jail.
Poonam, daughter of Sarabjit Singh, said that Dalbir was already suffering from lung infection for the past one year. The moment she was admitted in the hospital the doctors described her condition as critical and she was shifted to the ICU, where after a few minutes she was put on a ventilator.
