NEW DELHI (WION) — India on Sunday accused two Pakistan high commission officials of spying, and gave them one day to leave the country.

Two officials at Pakistan’s high commission have been expelled for “espionage activities”, India’s foreign ministry said late on Sunday. The pair had to leave the country within 24 hours, and Pakistan’s charge d’affaires was issued with a “strong protest” over their alleged activities, the ministry said.

The ministry said in a statement:

The government has declared both these officials persona non grata for indulging in activities incompatible with their status as members of a diplomatic mission.
