India has reportedly instructed Pakistani diplomats in New Delhi to vacate their residences before their housing contracts expire, amid ongoing harassment and surveillance.
According to the sources, Pakistani diplomats are under constant watch, with frequent disruptions to their internet services. Four to five officials have already been told to leave their accommodations.
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which triggered a military standoff between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Earlier in May, India expelled two Pakistani officials from its high commission, accusing them of misconduct, prompting Pakistan to expel an Indian diplomat in a reciprocal move.
Following the attack, India accused Pakistan of involvement — a claim Islamabad strongly denied — and took a series of hostile measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, cancelling visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, ordering the Pakistan High Commission’s closure in New Delhi, and cutting diplomatic staff.
The situation worsened after missile strikes on six cities in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir killed dozens of civilians, prompting Pakistan to shoot down Indian warplanes. Further clashes on May 10 led to Pakistan launching Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, targeting Indian military installations.
A ceasefire was eventually announced by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by both countries’ officials.
