Pakistan Embassy Officials Leave India After Spying Charges
June 1, 2020
Two Pakistan officials expelled by India over spying allegations returned home Monday, an embassy spokesman said, as the nuclear-armed rivals wrangled over the claims.
The Indian government said Sunday that the two had been detained for “indulging in espionage activities”, and given 24 hours to leave the country.
The pair returned to Pakistan via the Wagah border crossing, which has been closed for several weeks because of the coronavirus lockdown, a Pakistan embassy spokesman told AFP.
