Kulbhushan Jadhav case: Here's the list of 'charges' levelled by Pakistan against him

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will pronounce its verdict on the Kulbhushan Jadhav case on Thursday. Ten days earlier, India had approached the court asking for immediate suspension of the death sentence given to its former Navy officer by a Pakistan military court.

India also said that its request for consular access to Jadhav was turned down 16 times. Approaching the ICJ on May 8, India accused Pakistan of violating the Vienna Convention and conducting a "farcical trial" for convicting Jadhav without a "shred of evidence" following which the court had stayed his execution.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz had shared the state's chargesheet against Kulbhushan Jadhav and a timeline of his trial. 

Aziz stated that Jadhav was tried by Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under Section 59 of the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952 and Section 3 of Official Secret Act of 1923. He also claimed that Jadhav was provided with a legal counsel in accordance with provisions of law.

Here are the allegations levelled by Pakistan

Aziz claimed that Jadhav was involved in the following activities:

► Sponsored and directed IEDs and grenade attacks in Gawadar and Turbat.

► Directed attacks on the radar station and civilian boats in the sea, opposite Jiwani Port.

► Funded subversive secessionist and terrorist elements through Hawala/Hundi for subverting the Pakistani youth against the country, especially in Balochistan.
