Kulbhushan was held in Balochistan

Pakistan on Friday said a case was being registered against former Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Yadav, arrested in the Balochistan province in March last year, and he would be prosecuted. Mr. Yadav may face death penalty, if convicted.

Adviser to Prime Minister Sharif on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Friday told the Senate that a case was being prepared to prosecute ‘Indian spy’ Kulbhushan Yadav. “We have prepared an FIR and a case is in the process of registration to prosecute the Indian state actor for involvement in subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan,” he told the Upper House. The Adviser said Pakistan had also shared a dossier with the U.N. Secretary-General on the alleged Indian involvement in the internal affairs of Pakistan and in subversive and terrorist activities.

He said the government was also examining the possibilities for sharing the dossier with other countries and world organisations.

Access denied

Pakistan has denied access to Indian embassy officials despite repeated requests. Pakistani officials claimed that Mr. Yadav was working for the Indian spy agency RAW and involved in planning terror activities in the Balochistan province.
