New Delhi: Leading Pakistani human rights activist Ansar Burney, who fought for the release of Indian death row prisoners Kashmir Singh and Sarabjit Singh in Pakistani, was last night deported from India back to Dubai, because of a 'look-out' notice against him, sources said.

Burney, who was the human rights Minister in the interim government in Pakistan, was deported back from the Indira Gandhi International Airport by an Emirates Airways flight at around 2030 hours, sources added.

It was, however, not immediately clear who had issued the notice against him and in what connection. Burney was instrumental in releasing Kashmir Singh, an Indian in Pakistan jail and also in the recent developments in the Sarabjit Singh issue. (PTI)
