How Kulbhushan Jadhav was convicted on flimsy evidence

India also accused Pakistan of not granting consular access. This itself was very suspicious and Home Ministry officials asked what the reason for such secrecy.

Pakistan decided award former Indian navy officer, Kulbhushan Jadhav a death penalty in a hurry. The evidence was flimsy and it appeared that the decision to send him to the gallows was more to prove a point to India. India and several other countries have cried foul over this incident and say that there is absolutely no evidence to show that Jadhav was a spy planted in Balochistan by the Research and Analysis Wing.

The decision to try him before a military court itself is a suspicious one. Had he been tried by a civil court, he may have been acquitted because the evidence on hand was flimsy.

Secondly India also accused Pakistan of not granting consular access. This itself was very suspicious and Home Ministry officials asked what the reason for such secrecy.

Third and more important is what Pakistan's foreign policy chief Sartaj Aziz had to say on this incident. He had told the Pakistan senate that there was no conclusive evidence against Jadhav. The dossier on him contains mere statements and do not have any conclusive evidence, he had also said.
