More Indian High Commission Officials Leave Pakistan
Islamabad: Two more Indian High Commission officials out of the eight accused by Pakistan of being members of Indian intelligence agencies, left for India on Thursday.
"Balbir Singh and Jayabalan Senthil left via Dubai-bound Emirates flight EK 615," sources said. Both the staffers were named as undercover agents of Indian intelligence agencies. With this the number of Indian High Commission officials leaving Pakistan has reached five.
Last month, Pakistan had declared Indian High Commission official Surjeet Singh ‘persona non-grata’ after India’s action against Pakistan High Commission official Mehmood Akhtar following Indian police’s busting of an ISI-run spy ring
