Now, Pakistani spy with a ‘Hindu’ name arrested in Rajasthan;  confesses smuggling RDX into India.

HENB | Jaisalmer | Aug 19, 2016:: A Pakistani spy with a ‘Hindu name’ was on Friday arrested in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan and he has confessed that he played an instrumental role in smuggling around 35 kg of RDX into India.

The spy named Nand Lal Meghwal alias Nandal Maharaj was nabbed based on intelligence inputs from the RAW. A cellular phone has also been also recovered from him.

“The accused who identified himself as Nandu is a Pakistani national and entered the country on visa,” U R Sahoo, ADG Intelligence said.

“He was found in suspicious circumstances in Jaisalmer yesterday and was interrogated. He is now being taken to Jaipur. He will be placed under arrest later,” he said.

“We are probing his local connections in the border areas and those who helped him reach there,” he added.

According to reports, this is the time that Pakistan has sent a set ‘Hindu’ spy on visa and passport.

“Primary investigation reveals that the accused remained in constant touch from Pakistan with anti-social elements and smugglers living in border areas of Rajasthan and also smuggled them various articles,” ADG Intelligence, Sahoo said.

“In lieu of smuggling items on cheap rates, he used to collect information about defence and intelligence agencies and their activities and would pass it on to his handlers of ISI,” the ADG said.

The accused used WhastApp, Facebook and Skype for communicating with his sources in the border areas, he added.

Home Minister Gulabchand Kataria said the accused has come to India on visa several times.

Additional SP CID (Intelligence) Rajiv Dutta said the accused had visa for Jodhpur only but he came to visit Jaislamer in violation of the visa norms.

Meghwal alias Maharaj had been staying in Jaisalmer since the last six months. He operated a textile showroom in Pakistan and has sound financial background.

In this unique spying and sabotaging mode, the Pakistan sent a set ‘Hindu’ named person whose original identity is yet to be authenticated by further investigations. But, it is evident that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is now penetrating its net through ‘Hindu’ identity to take more advantageous position in the Hindu dominated are of operation. ISI is directly providing such spies with fake passports and arranging visa. Side by side Pakistan tries also to give a bad name of Hindus setting them as ‘terrorist’ category.
