Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on Foreign Affairs, on Wednesday, admitted that the government was presented with only "insufficient evidence" on alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav who is under detention, as reported by GeoTV, a Pakistani television channel.

The Pakistan government, however, denied the reports claiming that the reports were “absolutely incorrect”. In a statement, a spokesperson of the Foreign Office said:

The Adviser had said that the investigations regarding the network of Kulbhushan Jadhav are ongoing and the dossier shall be completed upon conclusion of the investigation. There is irrefutable proof against Kulbhushan Yadav who had also made a public confession in March this year.

The report added that Aziz addressing a full Senate chamber said the dossier on Jadhav contained mere statements. Aziz reportedly said:

It did not have any conclusive evidence. What the dossier contained was not enough. Now it is up to the concerned authorities how long they take to give us more matter on the agent.
