New Delhi: A Pakistani diplomat and his driver were manhandled by around 10 people in New Delhi this evening, the Pakistan High Commission has claimed. The High Commission also says it has lodged a strong protest with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) saying the Government of India should ensure safety of its diplomats as per the Vienna Convention.
According to MEA sources, the car of Zargham Raza, the First Secretary of Pakistan's High Commission, hit a two wheeler in Ber Sarai in New Delhi and the pillion rider, a woman, fell down. The diplomat initially did not step out of the car, following which a crowd gathered and became very hostile. The cops then took Mr Raza away to a police station to prevent the crowd from manhandling him.
The Pakistan High Commission in Delhi however claims the diplomat was being chased by a motorcycle. There was an altercation after which the biker along with a group of 10 to 15 people beat Mr Raza and his driver.
