One more arrest in Pakistan spying probe

In its ongoing probe after busting a spying network working for Pakistan based ISI, the Delhi Police arrested another person, taking the total number of arrests to four, police said on Saturday.

The accused identified as Sabar, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir and a teacher in a government school, was arrested from Rajouri district on Friday, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Ravindra Yadav said.

Earlier, Delhi Police arrested Border Security Force (BSF) head constable Abdul Rasheed and 44-year-old library assistant Kafaitullah Khan alias Master Raja for obtaining secret information related to India's national security and sharing it with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Khan, a resident of Rajouri district, allegedly working for ISI for monetary benefits was arrested on November 26 from New Delhi railway station while Rasheed was held from Rajouri.

A team of Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested Munawwar Ahmad Mir, a retired Indian Army havildar, for being part of the alleged espionage racket from Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday.

According to police, Sabar has helped Khan to establish contact with Mir.

"Mir had joined the army in 1995 and took retirement in 2011 after serving in a Rashtriya Rifles (Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry) battalion," Yadav said.

Police said the two accused will be brought to Delhi for further interrogation after getting transit remand from the concerned court in Jammu and Kashmir.
