A Pakistani military court has sentenced an alleged Indian spy to death, the Defense Ministry announced Monday, drawing an angry reaction from India.
The ministry, in a press release, said the man identified as Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav, was tried and convicted by a military court martial "for his involvement in espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan."
It said he was arrested in the turbulent province of Balochistan in March 2016 and confessed to having been tasked by Indian intelligence agency RAW "to plan, coordinate and organize espionage/sabotage activities aiming to destabilize and wage war against Pakistan by impeding the efforts of law enforcement agencies for restoring peace in Balochistan and Karachi."
