We already have evidence in the Jadhav case Geo TV quoted Zakaria as saying.
Jadhav whose family stays in Mumbai and who was reportedly arrested in Balochistan has been charged with espionage and waging war against Pakistan. India says he was abducted from Tehran Iran.
The Foreign Office spokesman said former Tehreek-e-Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan in a recent confession video has disclosed the presence of Research and Analysis Wing s (RAW) presence in Pakistan.
Urging the international community to take notice of Ehsan s confessional video Zakaria told the media that the former TTP spokesman s statement exposed the real face of India.
