Hope this does not turn into another ugly incident and stays what it is -an accident … condolences to the family …

In a significant development, the Pakistan ISI station chief, MK Afridi, at its High Commission in Delhi got electrocuted “ while drying his hair late Sunday night at his Vasant Vihar residence” and died. His body was taken to Pakistan via Wagah border in the wee hours of morning after intervention at the highest levels.

Government sources told The Indian Express that Pakistan High Commission told the local police that Afridi, who held the post of Counsellor, was electrocuted as he was using a dryer after having bath in the evening at his Vasant Vihar residence. Apparently as no foul play was suspected, no post mortem was conducted. It was at the diplomatic intervention that Pakistan High Commission was allowed to transport the body to Pakistan. It is learnt that the Pakistan High Commission officials took the body via road at 3.00 am this morning and the entourage crossed Wagah around 8.00 am.

Suspicious that there was electricity?

India is notorious in installing bathroom outlets without gfi. Wasn't a problem since people don't use hair dryers and other electrical appliances in the bathrooms but this gentleman did.

Sad

So admit your govt was involved and save us the long protracted and ultimately pointless debate...:)

the speed with which his body was removed to Pakistan shows this was an inside job

I am surprised why the Indians think he was an ISI man? He wasn’t.

No. Because he isn't one :D Its normal for the dead bodies to be flown out asap for religious purposes. When in Indonesia, one of the staff died of a heart attack. He was flown out in 7 hours and he was nothing more than a clerk.
