Pakistan Accepts Its Mistake, Says There's No 'Conclusive Evidence' Against Former Indian Navy Officer Held For Spying
Kulbhushan Jadav was arrested from Chaman the border with Iran in March. The dossier on Jadhav contained mere statements It did not have any conclusive evidence Sartaj Aziz said.
After running their tall claims for months about finally nabbing an Indian spy, Pakistan government has been forced to swallow their words.
Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on national Security and Foreign Affairs has told the Senate that there was no conclusive evidence against Kulbhushan Jadav, who was arrested from Chaman, the border with Iran in March.
"The dossier on Jadhav contained mere statements. It did not have any conclusive evidence," Aziz said.
After his arrest in the restive Balochistan province Pakistan had calimed that Jadav was a serving Indian Navy personnel adding that he was involved in subversive activities in and was in touch with Baloch separatists and insurgent groups.
India had rejected the claims that he was a serving Navy personnel and accused Pakistan of not granting him consular access to Jadav despite official requests.
Pakistan Army had also released videos of his "confession" where he said he was the serving Indian Navy officer.
