India has expelled a Pakistani High Commission official after uncovering an alleged ISI-led spy ring linked to sensitive military leaks in Punjab. The expulsion follows the arrest of two Indian nationals and comes amid hostile tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

MEA spokesperson highlighted global recognition of India's right to defend itself after the Pahalgam terror attack, tracing it to Pakistan. He also addressed the abeyance of the Indus Water Treaty due to Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism.

BENGALURU: Even after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on May 10, following four days of high-stakes military confrontation, both sides are still rattling sabres.

Pakistan has declared an Indian high commission staff member 'persona non grata' following India's expulsion of a Pakistani staffer linked to espionage.

Pakistani officials have said Saturday’s ceasefire with India reestablished deterrence. But New Delhi insists the rules of engagement have irrevocably changed.

"Had Pakistan been sane enough to accept this fact and get over it, the entire situation would have ended at that point,” said Tom Cooper, referring to Operation Sindoor and the subsequent India-Pakistan conflict.

Shaw's wife Rajani had expressed concern that the heightened tension between the two countries may impact efforts to secure her husband's release.

This enhancement comes in the wake of the recent military escalation and New Delhi’s firm diplomatic response to Islamabad following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people.

Two Turkish military operatives were killed during India's precision military campaign under Operation Sindoor, sources added. “This will not be disclosed by Pakistan,” sources said.

The Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to avenge the Pahalgam attack where 26 people - mostly tourists – were killed. Subsequently, the two countries were involved in military actions against each other.
