Islamabad: As Pakistan and India contest alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case in the Internat-ional Court of Justice (ICJ), Pakistani authorities on Sunday arrested an Indian man after he failed to produce the re-quired travel documents.

Police said the man —identified as Sheikh Nabi from Mumbai — was detained during routine patrol in F-8 sector area of Islamabad.

“We have registered an FIR (First Information Report) against him. The suspicious person has been booked under the Foreigners Act, 1946. We have obtained a 14-day judicial remand,” a police official said.

Meanwhile, Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said the government and Pakistan Army will contest the case against Kulbhushan Jadhav in the ICJ.

The Speaker said that it is time to be united instead of doing politics on the issue of a terrorist. He said legal points should be discussed but there should be no politics on the issue of Jadhav.

Mr Sadiq said that Pakistan will not take any dictation on the issue and take decisions as per its interests.

He said a group of politicians were spreading desperation in the country but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will never resign on their demand.
