#2 Pakistan's abduction claim fabricated: India

November 09, 2005 23:54 IST

Dismissing as fabricated, the story of a Pakistan High Commission official's son being abducted and forced to pose for photographs near dead bodies, India on Wednesday termed as unfortunate the attempt by Islamabad to sensationalise the issue without proper investigation.

An External Affairs Ministry spokesman said there was no corroborative report on the alleged abduction of Roshan Ali and the matter was being further investigated by the police, which sought clearance from the Pakistan High Commission for interrogating him.

The spokesman's reaction came hours after the Pakistan High Commission lodged a protest with the Ministry alleging the abduction of Ali.

The spokesman said police investigated the matter and discovered that the threatening note, which Ali claimed had been stuffed in his hands by his abductors when they released him on Tuesday night, was actually written the same day by his Indian colleague Rahul Sharma at the computer institute NIIT.

"Rahul Sharma has acknowledged that he wrote the note at Roshan Ali's request and as dictated by him (Ali)," the spokesman said.

According to Sharma, Ali said he would use the note to scare some of his Pakistani friends, the spokesman said.

"Rahul Sharma's statement and the absence of any corroborative report on the alleged abduction clearly establishes that Roshan Ali's story is fabricated," the spokesman said.

"The rush to publicise the allegation in the media in Pakistan is an unfortunate attempt to sensationalise it without proper investigation," he said.
