What's the story
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has busted a major espionage racket, arresting two people, including an Indian Army Subedar. The accused, identified as AK Singh and Rashmani Pal, were allegedly leaking sensitive information to Pakistan. Singh was based in Goa, while Pal was arrested from Daman. Both are said to have been in direct contact with Pakistani handlers.
Second arrest
Haryana lawyer arrested for alleged ISI spying
In another case, the Haryana Police have arrested Rizwan, a lawyer from Nuh district. Rizwan is accused of spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and being part of a terror funding network. He allegedly made five trips to Punjab in three months to facilitate transactions related to terror funding. Investigators believe he transferred around ₹45 lakh through hawala channels linked to terrorist operatives.
Investigation progress
SIT detains friend, arrests accomplice in terror funding case
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) first detained Musharraf, Rizwan's friend, but later released him after questioning. The SIT then arrested Ajay Arora from Malaysian Patti in Jalandhar for allegedly sending money to Rizwan through hawala and facilitating transactions. Police sources suggest handlers operating across Punjab laundered over ₹1 crore in a short time to support terror activities.
