KARACHI: Indian government threatened the parents of RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav who was detained by Pakistan for launching sabotage activities in the country, according to an Indian newspaper that exposed India’s intelligence agency-RAW in a recent report.

Indian newspaper The Quint published on Friday an extensive report that spilled the beans regarding the shenanigans of the Indian authorities involving the wife and mother who met Jadhav in Islamabad at Foreign Office on December 25.

However, the website removed the report soon after it was published on Friday.

Exposing the RAW, the report said the authorities threatened Jadhav’s parent to keep their mouth shut. It should be mentioned here that Kulbhushan also vented his fury over the way Indian authorities treated his mother and wife soon after the meeting was over.

Calling a spade a spade!

Two Ex-RAW Chiefs Did Not Want Kulbhushan Jadhav Recruited As Spy https://t.co/SKEF3Yqb3q — Chandan Nandy (@NandyGram) January 5, 2018

The newspaper revealed a high officer in India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) recruited Jadhav for ‘operations ‘ in Pakisitan.

The report said the two former chiefs of RAW had “put their foot down against recruiting” Kulbushan Jadhav for “operations in Pakistan.”

Pakistan has sentenced him to death in a verdict by a military court on charges of espionage and terrorism. India maintains Jadhav, a “former naval officer-turned-businessman,” was “abducted” by Pakistan from Iran.

According to the report, two former RAW senior officers, including one secretary who headed the RAW after 2008, said that the “proposal to recruit Jadhav for operations, whatever it’s worth, was ridiculous.”

“Even as two RAW secretaries refused to hire his services, the proposal to recruit Jadhav for specific assignments was finally acceded to by a chief who headed the intelligence agency a few years ago and was subsequently re-employed (after retirement) in an organisation also involved in collecting intelligence,” the report says.
