Missing earlobe, bruises on neck, head: Was Kulbhushan Jadhav tortured in Pakistan custody?

Did the Pakistan government torture Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer which it sentenced to death on charges of espionage?

Photos of Jadhav’s meeting with his wifeand mother, have aroused suspicions that it did.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who spent many years working for the United Nations as a top diplomat, told the news agency ANI that “many people” who were “more knowledgeable” than him had suggested that there were “signs of torture, that clearly the man has been held under duress.”

In one of the photos that was taken during Kulbhushan Jadhav’smeeting with his family, his right ear appears to show signs of injury.

In a tweet, activist and politician Shehzad Poonawalla lambasted the “inhuman” Pakistan government, and said there were “torture bruises” on Jadhav’s head and ear.

Pakistan allowed Kulbhushan Jadhav to meet two family members on “humanitarian grounds” today, over eight months after he was sentenced to death.

Jadhav’s mother and wife were accompanied by JP Singh, India’s Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan.
