- Pakistan is considering pulling out from India four of its officials posted in the High Commission in New Delhi, days after Indian authorities declared one diplomat persona non grata.
- The names of the four officials were made public after Indian officials released to media a recorded statement of High Commission staffer Mehmood Akhtar, who was expelled from India after being declared persona non grata.
- Akhtar narrated how he was "manhandled and picked" from outside a zoo and taken to a Delhi police station, where he was “coerced into recording a statement” before being expelled from the country.
