Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav has filed a mercy petition to Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, seeking forgiveness for his espionage, terrorist, and subversive activities, the ISPR said on Thursday.
In his plea, Commander Jadhav has admitted to his involvement in espionage, terrorist and subversive activities in Pakistan and expressed remorse at the resultant loss of many precious innocent lives and extensive damage to property due to his actions.
Seeking forgiveness for his actions, he has requested the Chief of Army Staff to spare his life on compassionate grounds, the ISPR said in a statement here today.
Jadhav had earlier filed an appeal to the Military Appellate Court, which was rejected. Under Pakistani law, he is eligible to appeal for clemency to the COAS (which he has done) and, if rejected, subsequently to the President of Pakistan.
The ISPR also released a second confessional video of the Indian spy – in which he can be seen accepting his acts of terrorism and espionage – “so that the world should know what India has done and continues to do against Pakistan”, the ISPR said.
