As cross-border trade continues to be hit following the arrest of a Pakistani truck driver for allegedly ferrying 100 kg of brown sugar to India, the Indian government on Thursday rebuffed Pakistan's demand for release of the driver and said he would have to face the "full force of Indian law".

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin also said at a briefing here that the foreign ministries of the two countries are in consultations over the situation.

Trade across the Line of Control (LoC) was disrupted on January 17 after the arrest of Pakistani truck driver Muhammad Shafi and seizure of the vehicle by India.
