The accused, a government school teacher identified as Sabar, was apprehended by a joint team of police from Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir.
The Delhi Police on Saturday arrested a school teacher from the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir in connection with the espionage racket linked with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence spying agency.
“He has been produced earlier than the involved courtroom in M&U for looking for his transit remand for bringing him to Delhi for additional interrogation”.
“They have taken him along to Delhi for interrogation”, sources said, adding that his name figured in the interrogation of Kafaitullah Khan, who has been allegedly considered a Pak operative in Rajouri.
The Delhi police have arrested a retired Army havildar for alleged espionage. He was said to be one of the main sources of the handler. A search yielded “a few documents having implication on national security”, police had said.
Khan was the first person to be arrested from New Delhi on November 26, while he was heading to Bhopal to attend a religious congregation and allegedly recruit more spies, followed by the arrests of a serving BSF personnel Abdul Rasheed and a former army hawaldar, identified as Munawwar Ahmad Mir.
He was discovered to be in direct contact with the Pakistan intelligence operative, Faisal, and had cultivated an Army man named Fareed to offer info.
Khan, according to sources, provided information of movement of troops on the border and also allegedly passed on sensitive information to ISI.
