NEW DELHI: India today rubbished as "mischievous campaign" reports of attack on its consulate in Jalalabad in Afghanistan.
"There is no truth in the reports of a terrorist bomb attack on Indian consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan," official sources said here.
A section of the Pakistani press had reported that suspected Taliban elements had attacked the Indian consulate in Jalalabad and killed six persons, including two Indians.
"There was no such attack and these reports are part of a mischievous campaign," the sources said.
All Indian missions in Afghanistan have been on high security alert in the wake of the suicide attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul on Monday that left 41 people dead.
Afghan authorities had hinted at possible involvement of a Pakistan-based terror outfit in the Kabul blasts. The sources said that it was possible that these elements may be spreading news in the Pakistani media of an attack on Indian mission in Jalalabad.
