New Delhi Feb 3 (IANS) The Indian government on Saturday dismissed as "riddled with factual inaccuracies" a media report that suggested that Kulbhushan Jadhav the Indian national who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on alleged espionage charges might be a serving Indian naval officer.
"The report is riddled with factual inaccuracies and presents a false story which is concocted and mischievous " External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in response to a query.
"The story relies considerably on the tutored videos of Jadhav released by the Pakistan government and furthers its propaganda.
"This places a big question mark on the credibility of this story and the intended purpose " he added.
Raveesh Kumar reiterated that the facts on Jadhav "remain what we have released in our previous statements".
"Jadhav is a retired Indian naval officer who was engaged in a business in Iran and was kidnapped in Iran and produced in Pakistan " he said. "We are fighting his case at the ICJ (International Court of Justice at The Hague)."
