NEW DELHI, Nov 14: India said on Wednesday it has lodged an official complaint over a break-in at the Islamabad residence of its top envoy to Pakistan.

“The residence of the high commissioner of India in Islamabad was broken into,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

“A strong protest has been lodged with the government of Pakistan in Islamabad and with the high commission of Pakistan in New Delhi.”

The statement said the break-in occurred on Monday night, but did not provide further details.

That was less than 10 days after Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency on the country.

India has said it regretted Musharraf declaring an emergency amid spiralling political turmoil and militant violence.
