Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav was granted second consular access on Thursday, Pakistan media reported.

Indian officials are presently at Pakistan Foreign Office.

Earlier, New Delhi had asked Islamabad to give "unconditional consular access" to Jadhav, as per sources.

Pakistan claimed that Jadhav had refused to file a review plea on the Pakist court military court's judgment which awarded the death penalty to the former naval officer on charges of espionage. India said that he had been coerced into doing that.

"Last time what they did was insulting to his mother, father and wife and insulting to India as a whole. So we want that consular access should be unconditional," Arvind Singh, Kulbhushan Jadhav's childhood friend, told .

Pakistan claims that Jadhav was arrested from Balochistan in 2016 on charges of espionage. India has rejected Pakistan's allegations about Jadhav's involvement in spying and subversive activities and said he was kidnapped from the Iran port of Chabahar.

In early 2017, a Pakist military court sentenced him to death. In May 2017, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stayed his execution.

In July last year, the ICJ, by a vote of 15-1, had upheld India's claim that Pakistan has committed an egregious violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations on several counts.
