New Delhi: The Pakistan government may recall four of its officials from its high commission in New Delhi, a Pakistani media report claimed, after some Indian TV channels on Saturday made public their names, alleging the probe into the recent espionage scandal had revealed the four were ISI handlers at the high commission.
TV reports had claimed the names of the four high commission officials cropped up in investigations after mission staffer Mehmood Akhtar was caught red-handed by the Delhi police while he was receiving sensitive documents on Indian military and paramilitary deployments. India had decla-red Akhtar persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country.
