<p>Pakistan&#39;s Inter-Services Public Relations(ISPR) director general Major General Asif Ghafoor&nbsp;has released another &quot;confessional&quot; video of Kulbhushan Jadhav, India&#39;s former Navy officer who has been awarded the death sentence by a Pakistan army court for his alleged &quot;involvement in espionage and terrorist activities in Pakistan&quot;.</p>

<p>ISPR claimed Kulbhushan Jadhav has filed a mercy petition &quot;seeking forgiveness for his espionage, terrorist and subversive activities&quot;.</p>

<p>Major General Asif Ghafoor&nbsp;in his Facebook post wrote:</p>

<p><strong>Commander Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav, the serving Indian Naval Officer who has been sentenced to death on charges of espionage, sabotage and terrorism has made a mercy petition to the Chief of Army Staff.</strong></p>

<p><strong>In his plea, Commander Jadhav has admitted his involvement in espionage, terrorist and subversive activities in Pakistan and expressed remorse at the resultant loss of many precious innocent lives and extensive damage to property due to his actions. Seeking forgiveness for his actions he has requested the Chief of Army Staff to spare his life on compassionate grounds.</strong></p>
