ISLAMABAD: Pakistan rejected on Thursday India’s claim that a man captured for his alleged involvement in an attack on an Indian military convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir was Pakistani, according to local media sources.

Terming the claims ”unsubstantiated and unwarranted”, government sources told a private media outlet that National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) records have revealed that Usman Khan is not a Pakistani national, sources further revealed.

“NADRA record shows Indian claims of an arrested person, Usman Khan, originating from Pakistan are totally baseless,” the source said.

Indian forces captured a man on Wednesday after a deadly attack on a military convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir and claimed he was of Pakistani origin. Two soldiers were killed and eight others injured in the attack mounted by a group of militants, authorities stated.
