The article begins by reporting the assassination of Mufti Shah Mir, a Pakistani religious scholar, in Balochistan. He was reportedly associated with the JUI-F and allegedly played a role in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
The core of the article details the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, highlighting India's claim that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran and illegally arrested in Pakistan. India disputes Pakistan's espionage charges and claims Jadhav's confession was fabricated. The case involves denied consular access and the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) intervention.
Despite the ICJ ruling, the case remains unresolved. The article notes Pakistan's efforts, including creating a special ordinance and seeking to appoint a defense counsel, while India has sought to appoint its own lawyer.
Jadhav remains in Pakistani custody, and the article highlights the lack of recent major updates on the case amid strained India-Pakistan relations. The unresolved Jadhav case and Mir's assassination underscore ongoing tensions between the two countries.
