Ten days after the International Court of Justice in Hague stayed the execution of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav accused of espionage, Pakistan claimed on Tuesday that it had fresh evidence against him.
In a brief statement on Monday, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said Jadhav provided “active intelligence” regarding terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Attorney-General Ashtar Ausaf, in an interview with Dawn TV, said the fresh evidence against Jadhav, would further boost Pakistan’s case in the ICJ. However, no details were given about the “fresh intelligence”.

Pakistan is expecting the ICJ to take up the case at the earliest.
Jadhav, 46, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of “involvement in espionage and sabotage activities” against the country.
The ICJ on May 18 stayed his execution.
