The Foreign Office highlighted that despite repeated requests by the High Commission for Pakistan in New Delhi for details regarding the tragic incident, the Indian government has repeatedly refused to address the issue along with refusal to share any substantial details and evidence regarding the matter.
“The daughter of the deceased head of the family, Shrimati Mukhi has made highly concerning statements, implicating the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in the murder of her father,” said the statement issue by Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The deceased were purportedly killed after they refused to spy for Indian intelligence agency against Pakistan, it noted.
“The victims of Jodhpur Incident were Pakistan nationals, it was incumbent upon the government of Pakistan to be fully aware of the circumstances under which its nationals died in India,” added the FO statement.
