ISLAMABAD: India has refused to send wife of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a convicted Indian spy, alone to visit the Indian navy officer in Pakistan, requesting Islamabad to grant travel permit to his mother.
The Foreign Office, which had earlier offered a meeting between convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav and his wife on “humanitarian grounds” last week, said on Saturday that it had received a reply from India.
The FO said the Indian reply is being reviewed.
Earlier, the Indian government had asked Islamabad to grant visa to the mother of Kulbhushan Jadhav to visit her son in Pakistan.
On April 10, Pakistan had sentenced the RAW agent to death for carrying out espionage and sabotage activities in Balochistan and Karachi.
Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa had confirmed the death sentence awarded by the Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA).
According to an ISPR press release, Kulbhusan Sundir Jadhav alias Hussein Mubarak Patel was arrested on March 3, 2016, through a counter-intelligence operation from Mashkel area of Balochistan for his involvement in espionage and sabotage actives in Pakistan.
