New Delhi, Apr 22 (ANI): Iranian ambassador Gholamreza Ansari has said that his country was examining the issue of ex-Indian Navy officer (Kumbhushan Yadav)'s arrest in Pakistan "very accurately." Yadav was last month detained by the Pakistani security agencies from Balochistan after allegedly entering the country through Iran. Ansari, while interacting with media persons in New Delhi, said that Iran was working on the matter. Ansari also ruled out any possibility of the Iran-Pakistan -India gas pipeline project taking off. He said those invested in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) projects in India won't allow the venture to take off.
