Islamabad: Pakistan is not expected to arrest Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar as Islamabad has no evidence against him, media reports said.
There was no evidence against Maulana Masood Azhar regarding his alleged involvement in the Pulwama attack, The News daily reported, quoting unnamed sources.
“Why should we arrest or detain Maulana Masood Azhar without any crime or evidence of his involvement in any crime?” a key official questioned in return when asked about decision to arrest defunct Jaish-e-Mohammad chief.
Tensions between Pakistan and India have flared since February 14 in the aftermath of an attack that killed more than 40 Indian paramilitary police in Kashmir.
