Expelled official of the Indian High Commission, Surjeet Singh, left Pakistan to return to India on Friday night.
Pakistan’s foreign ministry said late on Thursday it has declared an Indian diplomat persona non grata and given him 48 hours to leave the country.
India said earlier on Thursday it would expel a Pakistani diplomat based in New Delhi who allegedly ran a spy ring that collected sensitive information about Indian security operations along its border.
The allegations come amid heightened tensions between the two countries over the disputed region of Kashmir.
