Mumbai: A Mumbai-based businessman has been arrested in Pakistan for not ‘possessing’ travel documents required as per Pakistan Government. The Indian National has been recognised as Sheikh Nabi Ahmed. Ahmed resides in Jogeshwari (East) with his family. As per Meghwadi police, Ahmed has his old address mentioned on his passport and the address on the passport is of Jogeshwari (East); but according to the Meghwadi Police, Ahmed sold his property almost five years ago and has now shifted to someplace in Jogeshwari (West). When contacted, Mumbai police spokesperson Rashmi Karandikar said, "It is the matter of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)." Ahmed has been booked for violating Article 14 of Pakistan’s Foreign Act. He was arrested on May 19 for not possessing proper documents. The arrest came days after the International Court of Justice stayed the execution of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "involvement in espionage and sabotage activities" against the country. Jadhav's case is the latest flash-point in the tensions between Pakistan and India.
