Kulbhushan Jadhav's wife and mother have reached Pakistan Foreign Affairs Ministry in Islamabad along with Deputy High Commissioner J.P. Singh to meet the Indian nationalist. They have travelled to Pakistan by a commercial flight and are scheduled to leave by evening the same day.
Earlier, Pakistan had agreed to give visa only to the wife of Kulbhushan Jadhav, sentenced to death by a Pakistan military court on charges of espionage and terrorism.
Earlier in April this year, Indian national Kulbushan Jadhav was handed a death sentence by a Pakistani Field General Court Martial (FGCM).
Pakistan alleges that Jadhav was involved in espionage and sabotage activities in Karachi and Balochistan.
However, India denying the claim had knocked the door of International Court of Justice (ICJ) who has temporarily stayed the death sentence of Jadhav till the hearing completes.
