ISLAMABAD: There is strong evidence pointing towards the involvement of Indian hostile agencies in the abduction of Col (retd) Muhammad Habib Zahir's disappearance, the Foreign Office said Thursday.
Speaking at a weekly press briefing, FO spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said Zahir is a retired officer of the Pakistan army who was abducted in 2017 from Lumbini, Nepal which is 5 kilometres from the Indian border. The Nepal Government, on Pakistan's request, had constituted a special team to look into the incident but there has been no progress in the matter so far, he said.
