ISLAMABAD, April 20: The staffer of Pakistan’s High Commission, who was picked up by the Indian intelligence operatives, was subjected to severe thrashing, according to a medical report by the New Delhi-based hospital.

It may be recalled here that the Indian external affairs ministry spokeswoman, Nirupama Rao claimed the other day that “there’s no truth, absolutely no truth in the allegations that there was torture of this (Ali Abbas) individual.”

According to the report, received here from New Delhi, the said patient passed “blood stained” urine. He had a “blood clot” eyes and was running fever.

The report said that Abbas was “badly shaken and very psychologically depressed,” when brought to the hospital.

In his statement to the hospital authorities, Abbas had stated he was dragged and taken to an isolated place where “two men dragged him with his legs apart.”

Abbas said that he was beaten near the groin and lower abdomen by a number of persons around him.

The medical report later confirmed that there was a lot of tenderness (around) lower abdomen, back.... he had a lot of tenderness near the sensitive parts. Pakistan had strongly condemned the abduction, illegal detention and torture of Ali Abbas and lodged a strong protest with the Indian government over the “cowardly, despicable and provocative action” by Indian intelligence operatives.—APP
