On Monday, Jadhav met his wife and mother — but from behind a glass screen — in a carefully choreographed event that unfolded in tweets, photos and TV footage.
The Indian envoy who was present, was allowed to witness the meeting at a distance. This was the first meeting between Jadhav, who was convicted of espionage in Pakistan, and his family, since his arrest on 3 March, 2016.
