Kulbhushan Jadhav faces more charges in Pakistan
Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on spying charges, is now facing trial in multiple cases related to terrorism and sabotage, according to a report in media.
Dawn
reported
quoting
an
official
that
Jadhav
has
multiple
cases
against
him
in
which
he
had
been
indicted
on
terror
and
sabotage
related
charges.
The
cases
are
progressing,
the
paper
quoted
the
official
saying.
He
said
only
the
spying
case
against
Jadhav
has
been
concluded
out
of
the
multiple
cases
against
him.
The
paper
quoting
a
source
also
said
that
Pakistan
on
a
number
of
occasions
had
sought
access
to
13
Indian
officials
to
ascertain
information
in
the
case.
But
New
Delhi
has
remained
stubbornly
uncooperative,
the
paper
said.
The
Pakistani
source
did
not
disclose
the
names
of
the
13
Indian
officials
that
the
government
wants
to
quiz.
He,
however,
said:
"We
want
to
reach
Jadhav's
handlers".
Besides,
Pakistan
has
sought
information
about
his
Navy
service
file,
bank
record
of
his
pension
payment,
and
issuance
of
the
passport
in
the
name
of
Mubarak
Hussain
Patel,
the
paper
said.
Pakistani officials want to know how the passport in the name of Patel was issued and whether it was original or fake.
Particulars of Jadhav's properties in Mumbai, Pune and other parts of Maharashtra, which he had acquired in Patel's name had also been demanded, the paper quoted the source as saying.
The ICJ is currently hearing an Indian petition challenging Pakistans refusal to grant consular access to the spy.
