India-Pakistan tensions: Pakistani official declared ‘persona non grata’, asked to leave within 24 hours
- On May 13, 2025, India formally expelled a Pakistani diplomat based in New Delhi, declaring him unwelcome and instructing him to depart the country within 24 hours.
- The expulsion followed espionage accusations linked to leaking sensitive Indian military information to Pakistan amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions and recent military confrontations.
- Punjab Police arrested two individuals allegedly connected to espionage involving Indian Army movements, and sources linked them to the expelled diplomat in New Delhi.
- The Ministry of External Affairs stated the official acted in ways inconsistent with his role, describing it as part of dismantling cross-border espionage networks amid ongoing fragile ceasefire agreements.
- This development reflects ongoing acrimonious relations despite a recent ceasefire understanding, with Pakistan neither confirming nor denying retaliatory diplomatic measures.
