55-year-old Hazi Khan was detained yesterday from his village in Jaisalmer and is being interrogated in Jodhpur, DIG, Security, H Raghvendra Suhasaa told PTI.
Hazi Khan, a resident of Kunjarali village of Jaisalmer, has visited Pakistan three times and is suspected to have connections with the ISI, he said.
Some vital information and incriminating documents have been recovered from his possession which are being verified, he said.
He is suspected to have passed on secret strategic information pertaining to the Army and the Air Force to the ISI, an Intelligence source said.
The accused, a local farmer, was on the intelligence radar for some time.
He is being interrogated to get details of his network and the information shared by him, the source said, adding that he was arrested earlier also, but was let off in absence of evidence against him.
