Pakistan sentences alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav to death

NEW DELHI: Pakistan on Monday sentenced to death Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav who was arrested last year on charges of spying. "The spy was tried through Field General Court Martial under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) and awarded the death sentence," said Pakistan's Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.Jadhav was arrested on March 3, 2016India has consistently acknowledged Jadhav is a retired Indian Navy officer, but denied the allegation that he was in any way connected to the government.New Delhi has also consistently sought consular access to Jadhav , issuing as many as six note verbales to the Pakistan foreign ministry, top government sources told TOI in October."India has relentlessly sought access to Jadhav. And we don't believe that he is a spy because had he been one, he wouldn't have been carrying an Indian passport," a source said. Jadhav's Indian passport was in the name of Hussein Mubarak Patel.
