Kulbhushan Jadhav’s plea of mercy now with army chief: Pakistan

Islamabaad: Pakistan army said on Sunday that its chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is reviewing the evidence against former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav who was sentenced to death by a military court in April over espionage and terror charges.

Jadhav, according to Pakistan, was arrested on March 3, 2016, through a counter-intelligence operation in Balochistan's Mashkhel area, a claim which is rejected by India. New Delhi says Jadhav was abducted from Iran. He was sentenced to death on April 10 this year but the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had stopped Pakistan from carrying out the punishment on May 18.
