Staffer's abduction reprehensible, protest lodged with Pak

The abduction was against all diplomatic conventions and code of civilised behaviour, an external affairs ministry spokesperson told PTI.

The abduction, she said, was an obvious retaliation to Friday's incident involving an assistant of the Pakistan high commission in Delhi being caught red-handed while accepting classified documents from an Indian Air Force sergeant.

Indian High Commission officials in Islamabad suspect that ISI operatives abducted Kulwant Singh and released him after four-and-a-half-hour of torture and interrogation during which he sustained serious injuries.

"Our acting high commissioner in Islamabad Sudhir Vyas has protested strongly against the abduction during a meeting with the Director General of South Asia in the Pakistani foreign office and we have conveyed our strong protest to the Pakistani government," the spokesperson said.
