Jolt to Pakistan: ICJ refuses to watch Kulbhushan Jadhav's confession

The Hague: The International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is hearing India's plea to suspend the death sentence to alleged Indian detective Kulbhushan Jadhav awarded by a Pakistan court, on Monday declined Pak's plea to play a video of his "confession".

The ICJ declined to play the alleged confessional video during the hearing of Jadhav's case, when Pakistan's session began in the afternoon.

Earlier, in the day, India demanded before the ICJ that Pakistan annul the death sentence of Jadhav and see that he was not executed as his trial was held under "farcical" circumstances in violation of the Vienna Convention.
