ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday said that it suspects an enemy spy agency is behind the kidnapping of Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Muhammad Habib Zahir.

Zahir, who travelled to Nepal on April 5 in pursuit of employment, could not be reached following April 6, his family said.

“We have brought Lt. Col (r) Zahir’s case to the Nepali government’s attention,” FO spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said in his weekly news briefing.

“The Indian prime minister admitted that the country was involved in dividing Pakistan in 1971.”

Zakaria said that Kulbhushan Jadhav’s activities were irrefutable proof of Indian involvement in Pakistan.
