A retired Lt Gen and ex-ISI official, Amjad Shoaib, has admitted that ex-Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav was captured in Iran, according to India Today. This belies Pakistan's claim that it arrested Jadhav on its own soil. It couldn't be confirmed whether New Delhi may quote Shoaib at the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) next hearing.
In an interim verdict, the ICJ had on May 18 stayed the execution of 46-year-old Jadhav, who was sentenced to death last month by a Pakistan military court that convicted him of alleged spying and subversive activities.
The retired Indian Navy officer has been in Pakistan's custody for more than a year.
Pakistan claims its security forces arrested the Indian national from its restive Balochistan province on March 3 last year after he reportedly entered from Iran.
