Pakistan espionage ring: Man who sent money to J&K held from Delhi
BHOPAL:A man, believed to be the key link in a Pakistani espionage ring which used international calls to spy on Indian military operations, has been arrested from Delhi.
Abdul Jabbar, from Jama Masjid area of the national capital, was arrested in a joint operation by Delhi police and MP ATS late on Saturday night.
The other person arrested by MP anti-terrorism squad (ATS) is a 23-year-old man Sanyog Singh from MP’s Chhatarpur district. Jabbar and Singh were produced before a local court in Bhopal on Sunday under heavy security.
With the MP ATS requesting custody of the duo for figuring out the source of money generated by them for spying, the court sent the duo into its remand till February 23. With these two arrests, the MP ATS has so far taken 14 men into custody in connection with the racket busted on February 5.
According to sources, Jabbar is the key link in the Pakistani espionage ring which used Chinese Sim Box exchanges converting international calls into local calls to spy on Indian military operations.
Jabbar is part of a suspected money laundering racket that was used by Satna, MP, residents Balram Singh and Rajiv Tiwari alias Rajjan Tiwari to send money to alleged ISI operatives in Jammu and Kashmir. The Chinese SIM box exchanges busted in four MP towns were used by handlers in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Middle East to dupe people in India via lottery and online fraud in 2015 & 2016.
