India’s efforts to secure consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav – held in Pakistan for being a spy – have slowed down. According to The Indian Express sources, Iran has put the former Naval officer’s business operations in Chabahar port under the scanner.
Jadhav, an alleged “RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) agent” was reportedly arrested in Balochistan after he entered from Iran and was accused by Pakistan of planning “subversive activities” in the country.
Investigations to determine whether or not Jadhav’s mechanised dhow Kaminda may have been used to run trafficking operations are underway.
India has acknowledged Jadhav as a retired Indian Navy officer, but denied the allegation that he was in any way connected to the government.
