India has categorically rejected the allegations of Pakistan that former Indian Naval officer, who is presently in the Pakistani custody was involved in subversive activities in that country. Ministry of external affairs in a release said that the enquiries conducted by India reveal that the individual was apparently being harassed while operating a legitimate business from Iran. India said that now his presence in Pakistan raises questions, including the possibility of his abduction from Iran.
It said, this will only become clear if India is given consular access to former Indian Naval officer and therefore New Delhi urges Islamabad to respond immediately about the request.
The MEA response came in the wake of a video released by Pakistani authorities of a former Indian Naval officer. The video has this individual making statements which have no basis in fact.
