India on Thursday rejected charges of harassment of a Pakistani diplomat's domestic help by police personnel in New Delhi four days ago.
Reacting the allegations made by Pakistan, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said the police officers behaved "courteously" with both Moazzam Ahmad Khan, counsellor at Pakistan High Commission, and his domestic help Mohd Nadeem on October 30.
Replying to a question, Sarna said Khan had even thanked the station house officer of R K Puram area for his cooperation.
Giving details of the incident, the spokesman said Nadeem had gone to Sunday market in Sector 7 of R K Puram at around 10 PM on October 30 to make some purchases.
He gave a Rs 1,000 note to a road-side food vendor. When the vendor wanted to make sure that it was genuine, Nadeem "vociferously" stated that he was from the Pakistan High Commission and that the note was genuine, Sarna said.
Considering that it was just a day after the serial blasts in the capital, Nadeem's statement that he was a Pakistani attracted the attention of passers-by and neighbouring vendors and a crowd collected, he said.
When a police patrol party reached the scene, Nadeem introduced himself as a driver of the Pakistan High Commission but could not produce any identity papers, Sarna said.
