New Delhi: India on Monday cancelled a visit by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director Vijay Shankar to Pakistan, sending it a stern message for its alleged role in the bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul.
Shankar and a team of officials from Home and External Affairs Ministries were to attend a meeting with Pakistan's Federal Investigating Agency. The FIA Director General had visited the CBI last year.
Though there was no official word about the cancellation of the CBI Chief's visit to Pakistan, sources attributed it to the heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the car-bomb attack on Indian Mission in Kabul that claimed the lives of four Indians including Defence Attache Brigadier R D Mehta and Counsellor Venkateswara Rao.
Preliminary investigations into the bomb blast pointed to Pakistan's ISI, which has been agitated over the presence of Indian mission in Kabul and consulates in other Afghan provinces including Kandahar.
