Islamabad, Dec. 26 (TNS): The Foreign Office on Tuesday clarified that the shoes of the Indian spy’s wife were confiscated on security grounds.
“There was something in the shoe of Jadhav’s wife, FO spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal said in a statement.
“The matter is being investigated”, the spokesman added.
Dr. Faisal said, Chetankul, the wife of Indian terrorist, had been provided replacement shoes and all her jewellery and other belongings were returned to her.
“She acknowledged that she has got back all her stuff, except the shoe,” the FO spokesman said.
Dr Faisal was responding to Indian allegations that during the meeting the “cultural and religious sensibilities of Jadhav’s mother and wife were disregarded under the pretext of security precautions”.
“This included removal of mangal sutra, bangles and bindi, as well as a change in clothing that was not warranted by security,” complained India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
