The family members were asked to remove mangalsutra, bangles, bindi and shoes; they were also asked to change their clothes.
Imagine their shock if they ever decided to travel by air at any international airport.
Just a few days ago I was made to take off my jacket, shoes, best, watch and chain at Heathrow

All this was done under the pretext of security. In fact Jadhav's wife's shoes were not returned.
Means they were right to have these stringent security arrangements; and found what they were looking for.
India's foreign ministry has alleged that Jadhav's mother was not allowed to communicate in Marathi, her mother tongue Moreover she was repeatedly interrupted while doing so and eventually prevented from proceeding further in this regard.
Good. It's a meeting under observation; and the observers need to understand what's being said. He's not a guest in a hotel, but a terrorist in prison.
The meeting between Jadhav and his relatives was conducted without the presence of JP Singh, India's Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan.
Why would he be allowed in? We agreed to let the mother and wife meet him; and specifically said no to counsellor access.
India's foreign ministry has also charged Pakistan with allowing the local press to approach the family members and harass them. This went against the agreement that media would not be allowed close access.
It's a free country with a free press.
