India expelled two officials from the Pakistan Embassy in New Delhi over spying allegations, ordering them to leave the country within 24 hours.

The Indian External Affairs Ministry said Sunday that the two were detained for “indulging in espionage activities.” The two officials were declared “persona non grata for indulging in activities incompatible with their status as members of a diplomatic mission,” the government said in a statement.
