RAWALPINDI: Pakistan has ultimately made a final decision about the Indian spy Kulbushan Yadev.
Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav, who was caught and later imprisoned in Pakistan for terror activities, has now been handed down death sentence, confirmed the military’s public affairs wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The ex-Indian navy officer had confessed to committing and planning subversive activities inside Pakistan.
Hailing from Mumbai, Kulbhushan Yadav, in his confessional video statement soon after his arrest, said that he joined Indian Defence Academy in 1987 before being commissioned in Indian navy in 1991.
In contrast with New Delhi’s claim, he says, “I am still a serving officer in the Indian Navy and will be due for retirement in 2022”.
The on-duty spy went on to say that he commenced intelligence operations by 2002 and established a small business in Chabahar, Iran in 2003 as a cover-up. He admitted to have visited Karachi undetected in 2003 and 2004.
“I am basically the man for Mr Anil Kumar Gupta who is the joint secretary of RAW and his contacts in Pakistan, especially in the Baloch student organization,” he confessed in the video.
The operative said that he was directed to meet Baloch insurgents and conduct subversive activities with their collaboration, which resulted in the ‘killing or injuring of Pakistani citizens’.
Pakistani security agencies on March 24, 2016 apprehended an ‘on-duty RAW agent’ from Balochistan. The suspect was said to be an officer of the Indian navy working for the covert agency to destabilize Pakistan.
