Indian diplomat suspected of spying for Pakistan
Posted on 9:02 PM by News and issues
India suspects one of its diplomats in Pakistan has been spying for Pakistani intelligence, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said Tuesday.
"The matter is currently under investigation. The official is cooperating with our inquiries," the ministry's official spokesperson said in a statement.
Indian media are reporting that the diplomat has been arrested. The Ministry of External Affairs did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
The announcement came as representatives of the two rivals prepared to talk on the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation meeting in Bhutan.
India and Pakistan have been at odds since they became independent in 1947. They have fought several wars and engaged in a nuclear arms race that ended with both countries having nuclear bombs.
