In response to a media report by Shri Praveen Swami in Frontline on Shri Kulbhushan Jadhav, the Official Spokesperson said:
"The report is riddled with factual inaccuracies and presents a false story which is concocted and mischievous. The story relies considerably on the tutored videos of Shri Jadhav released by the Pakistan Govt. and furthers its propaganda. This places a big
question mark on the credibility of this story and the intended purpose.
The facts on Shri Jadhav remain what we have released in our previous statements. Shri Jadhav is a retired Indian Naval Officer, who was engaged in a business in Iran, and was kidnapped in Iran and produced in Pakistan. We are fighting his case at the ICJ."
