"We have repeatedly asked India to refrain from accusations," Dawn quoted Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Qazi Khalilullah as saying.

The accusation was earlier denied Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).

Dunya news cited official sources as saying that suspect was not a Pakistani as information about him was not found in NADRA's records.
