As diplomatic tensions continue to escalate between Pakistan and India, 22 members of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, including three diplomats, returned to India via the Wagah border, sources confirmed on Wednesday.
According to insider reports, Indian diplomat Rahul Kumar Rakesh oversaw the departure of the delegation, which took place in two phases.
In the first phase, one Indian diplomat and eight staff members, along with two family members, crossed into India through Wagah on Tuesday. The second group included two more diplomats, 11 staff members, and two additional family members, all of whom departed earlier today.
The diplomatic movement comes against the backdrop of heightened military tensions, with both sides exchanging warnings over possible action in the coming days.
Sources say the Indian High Commission is operating on a reduced scale as precautionary measures are being enforced amid fears of further escalation.
