New Delhi: India tonight dismissed as “farcical” Pakistan releasing a fresh “confessional video” of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav and said “manufactured facts” cannot alter the reality in the case. He was responding after Pakistan today released the second “confessional video” of Jadhav. The Pakistan military released a “second confessional video”, in which purportedly Jadhav can be seen “accepting his acts of terrorism and espionage”. The Pakistan Army claimed that Jadhav has sought clemency from the Pakistan Army chief over the death sentence handed down to him by a military court after his plea to an appellate court was rejected. In a hearing of the case on 18 May, a 10-member bench of the ICJ restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav.
